Our little boy is 1!!!

Happy Birthday Little Buddy!

Our little guy has gone from this sweet, little peanut...
To this handsome, energetic, loving and happy little boy!


He is my world and I could not ask for a better little boy! I have been teary eyed all week thinking about Cole's birthday! Its bitter sweet because he is no longer an infant, but an active little toddler! He still needs me, but is getting more independent by the day! He makes me soo happy to be his momma!

Here is a little note that I would love to share with him later on in life!!

Dear Cole,

Happy Birthday to our handsome little guy!! We were recently looking at pictures of your first days and its hard to believe its been a whole year since you were born!

This year has been one of the hardest, yet most rewarding and amazing year of our life. We know you won't remember anything from your 1st year when you are all grown up, but we will never forget it & you'll probably get sick of us reminiscing or saying "remember when?"

Mommy will never forget the moment the doctor placed you in her arms. There was a rush of emotions that came over me... Fear, excitement, anxiety... I carried you for 9 months, loving every kick, movement & hiccup and finally you were right there in front of me to see. It was by far one of the BEST moments of my life.

We'll never forget your scrunched up little nose, your "quiet" little cry... How you would inch your way up our chests as we held you.. Or the little noises you would make while you slept or ate... The first time you rolled over on your own, or refused to sleep on your back, making us worry every moment you slept on your tummy! We''ll never forget your first little smiles, coos, and laughs because they brought smiles and joy to our hearts. And we'll never forget the day you learned to wave hello or shake your head no, it was the cutest thing.. Hopefully, We will continue to think its cute! :)

We'll never forget the day you said "mama" or was upset at mommy and called for "dada." Or the time you gave your first hug and kiss.. It melts our heart every time!

We love you with all our my hearts, Cole Stephan. Mommy and Daddy will always be your biggest supporter & we"ll support you no matter what you want to do in life. We will love you no matter what. We will be there for you always, wherever you are, no matter what age.

Mommy is thankful for every single day she gets to take care or you, watch you grow and teach you.. We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives watching you grow & learn.

We love you with all of our heart!
Mommy and Daddy
