Dear Joseph,
I am trying to send you a quick message to let you know how much I am loving this new stage you are in as you talk so much more, show your imagination, and move around to explore your world.
I am also a HUGE fan of our snuggle sessions and moments of pure laughter as we giggle over the littlest things. I love to dance and sing for you as I prepare your breakfast in the morning while you sit in your highchair waiting patiently for me. To be honest, that is the only time you are really patient in waiting for food!
Lately you are loving blueberry pancakes and yogurt for breakfast. I know, not the breakfast of champions but all the other favorites were making your tummy miserable. You adore bananas but they make your cheeks super red and give you lots of air in your tummy.
Your first birthday is only two days away and Mommy still cannot believe how lucky she is to be your Mommy! You have made me grow in ways and have taught me to love in such a new way. My heart finds such joy in you and I thank God everyday for the gift of your presence in our life and family.
Your most special things to talk about these days are "Dada", "Momm", and "aducka, aducka, aducka" and you often say "quack, quack". Twice while we are driving to town, I say from the front "a duck says. . .. " and you say "quack, quack" It makes me giddy to see you learn!
You are now cutting tooth number 5 & 6 and they are causing all kinds of ruckus in your mouth but this will only mean you can start to eat more foods soon! You are sleeping better for us and still taking great naps.
Baby, you are a light for us and we pray to always encourage your light to shine and we lead you to love and glorify the the source of all light, our most blessed Jesus whose birthday we are preparing to celebrate!
Speaking of Christmas, it has been fun to watch you help re-decorate the tree and enjoy the lights! We love spending our days with you! Our nights, too!
Love all-ways,
Mommy

Dear Joseph
Dear Joseph,
Tonight as I was putting you to sleep, you rubbed my face as you always do and my heart just melted. We snuggled close as I rocked you and whispered our prayers with you. It has been a busy day but as always my time spent with you in the quiet moments of the evening make my heart flutter.
I hope that when you are grown and possibly raising babies of your own you will have the same feeling of fulfillment, joy, and wonder as you help your child drift off to a peaceful sleep. Each night we ask God to give you a peaceful and holy rest. Every single night we thank him for the gift that is you and that you are a part of our family. We have also begun to ask God to bless you with a sister or brother one day, as He sees fit. Then we pray for all of our family, friends, and those little ones growing in wombs and for all those praying to have a baby growing in a womb that will one day be a part of their own family. Your Daddy often laughs at your Mommy because our prayers go on for awhile, but we try hard to not leave anyone out!
Joseph, you are a light to me and your Daddy. Speaking of light, I still love when you are drawn to the light! I often talk with you about how it must remind you of the great light of the one who knit you in my womb. Even though you were made in secret, in darkness, the hands that knit you were filled with light! I hope to always teach you to follow the light of God, to always trust in His love for you, and to know that He created you in love, with purpose, and with pleasure. Just as you bring delight to my heart, God finds delight in you, too!
I love you, son. Sometimes those words seem so small compared to depth of emotion they represent but each moment that I spend with you that love grows and I pray that I can teach you to love purely and in kindness so that your very life reflects that of your creator!
Sweet dreams, my lovebug, sweet dreams!
Love,
Mommy
