P,

I love you something fierce kiddo. You continue to be SO MUCH WORK but I consume you and love on you and take it all in because no matter how hectic you might make our days you fill it with just as much JOY. You love to cuddle and show affection and it makes my heart melt. Getting you in the morning is my favorite. Your little sleep face gets so excited. You are so animated and full of expressions – I can’t believe how fast you’re growing. Even on the hardest days, I count my lucky stars. You my boy, are everything and more.

Mama loves you.
