My Ry-Ry! I can't believe its been a year already since you made your presence known. You have been such a blessing. You are a sweet and gentle soul that I never want to leave me. I love that you are quiet and timid but also very curious. You may not say much but you are always observing! You are cautious to try new things and very attached to the things you love...especially your father. The way you always listen for his voice and steps makes my heart feel full. I promise to always be there for you and love you the way need me to love you. I want you to always now that you have your own spot in this family and we all love you. There are days when I just dont want you to grow up, I just want to you to lay on my chest forever. I just want to hold you close forever. My mother's intuition tells me you are going to need to lay on mommy's chest every now and then and that's okay.
Its been great to see you carve out your own personality and presence in our family. You have been determined to everything at your own pace.
It is my greatest dream to see you and your brother grow up to be close and I adore the fascination in your eyes as you watch him. I love that he is so eager to be a Big Brother to you and help you learn. This is the way I imagine. No matter what life brings in the future, alwyas now that you & your brother have a bond that can never be broken!
