Dear Sawyer,
As I've mentioned before, you are not a good sleeper. You wake up every two to three hours and Mama is so so so so sooooo tired. But if I have to be up all night, it's not too shabby being up all night with you! You are my sweet, silly and super cuddly Sawyer and I have loved getting to know you this past year. Happy 1st birthday, sweetheart! While exhausting, our first year together was also full of joy, laughter and fun. You are such a happy little guy and your megawatt smiles and belly laughs are infectious. You find humor in so many things and are a total ham who loves to share that humor with those around you. You are curious and always observing things; when we go for walks, you usually sit up in your car seat instead of leaning back, as if there's too much to see and you don't want to miss any of it. And you are constantly on the go, exploring one book, toy or object after the next.
I love that you do indeed call me "Mama" now (and that you're not just babbling); I love the way you shake your head back and forth when you hear music you like; I love how excited you get when you realize we're going up to the play attic (you shriek and pump your feet); I love it when you're nursing but suddenly stop to look up at me and smile; and I love the feelings I get when you rest your head on my shoulder and when you hug me and pat me on the back the same way I pat you on your back.
Happy birthday, baby bear! I love you so very much.
Love,
Mom
