Adam -
There's some things I want you know now that you are turning 6. I know you can't read this yet (since you are still learning to read!), but I'm hoping that one day you'll read this and be reminded of how much we love you.
You were a much wanted baby. After a few years of trying to expand our family of 3, you graced us with your presence. And boy, did you ever make that presence known!
One of your favorite pastimes (besides eating) was crying. You had a set of lungs that would wake the dead! You were colicky, but we survived and so did you!
When you weren't crying, you were a happy, pudgy baby who didn't like to sleep, unlike your world champion sleeper of a mom! I guess you decided that there was too much going on and you didn't want to miss a thing. Thankfully, you decided after about 11 months that sleep was all good!
No one could make you laugh like your big sister.
You would light up when she talked and played with you, even though you were too small (for a few months anyway) to play back! You tolerated all her hugs and kisses, much like she tolerates you and all your Star Wars talk now.
You weren't really a "Mommy's Boy" or a "Daddy's Boy". You were just OURS. Our little boy that we waited for so long to join our family of 3. You were the thing that makes our family complete.
We're so happy you are OURS and we love watching you grow up. There are nights when Dad and I check on you before we head to bed. We still see that sweet little baby, only you are no longer a baby.
You are, however, still sweet. You often tell us that you love us. No sweeter words can be said. Every time you tell your "MAMA" you love me, it melts my heart. I hope you continue doing that through the next 12 years, especially since I'm sure you and I will but heads - often!
We love everything about you, including your crazy imagination and your love of Star Wars. It's hard to imagine that you are already 6.
Happy 6th Birthday to our biggest boy!
Love,
Mom
