Then the next morning I woke up in love for the third time. I didn’t know who he or she was but I knew it was my baby and I was its mamma. 9 months of only being mine, tiny kicks that no one would ever get to experience like me and the sound of a heart that would make me hold my breath so I wouldn’t miss a beat.
Delightful is a perfect description of my son. Quiet yet friendly. Though he may be a man of few words he is funny and smart. The way he mimics his sister makes me belly laugh. He dances to any music and bring tears to my eyes when he open mouth kisses me. I am charmed by his laugh when we play peek-a-boo or pat-a-cake. I adore the pleasure he get out of playing with toys. His hands and feet fascinate me, flawless soft skin and perfectly chubby fingers and toes. The way he claps in pure joy. His smile is another subject I could talk about for days. The love I have for him is beyond my control.
I am amazed to see how one tiny being can take over an entire mind, heart and soul. Colin is my perfection, beauty, everything I ever wanted in a child. He is my boy, my life.
A whole year is just about to pass since the day he joined our lives. His second year of life will bring new adventure and experiences that will shape him as a person and me as a mommy. Mostly ones he will forget and I will cherish. Though It seems like one year is a short time, it feels as if I have loved this boy forever. Happy first Birthday Colin!
