Dear Wyatt,

We waited so very long for you....and never thought that we would be here today.  Watching you play, hearing your laugh.....but you are here, and for that we are so lucky and grateful.

It seems so weird for me to think that just a year ago I was holding you for the first time.  In a way, it seems like the time has gone by so slowly, but on the other hand...it seems like just yesterday.  I still remember the smell of your skin, and how soft your hair was.  How your blue eyes just seemed to stare straight into my heart.  You are my everything! 

Here it is a year later...your first birthday!!! You have changed by leaps and bounds.  It is so breathtaking to watch you learn, or to try something new for the first time.  I miss the baby you were, but look so much forward to the child and man you will be. 

You can do anything that you set your mind to.  If you can dream it, you can do it! Don't ever let anyone tell you that you CAN'T do something....you can do anything that you put your mind to.  You have already shown us just how smart you are, and I know that you will keep making us proud as you grow.

Live life to it's fullest.....and never have any regrets.  Love like there is no tomorrow, laugh like you have never laughed before.  Keep an open mind, and don't judge others just on what you see.  Take time to look around and appreciate what you have.  Most of all.....Love God with all of your heart.

Always know that I love you so much, and always will.  I will always stand behind you, and be there for you, no matter what your life may bring.


                    With all of my love,
                                 Mommy
