Happy Birthday, Joey!

by Jessica on November 19, 2009

I know Joey isn’t going to read this and while usually it bothers me to see someone write to a baby who’ll never see it…I’m making an exception this time.


My dear son…I can’t believe it’s already been a year. In some ways, it feels like you’ve always been with us. You have been such a blessing and a joy in our lives. Many sleepless nights, months of teething, crying for no apparent reason were worth it for the beautiful smiles, insatiable curiosity, hilarious laughs, and snuggling in our arms. You are brilliant!

We waited and waited for you. Not just 9 months, but 9 months plus 10 days! And you were worth it. We love watching you grow and explore and begin to talk. You’re a determined little guy, purposeful and adventurous. You’ve yet to be afraid, as far as we know. You’re independent, carefree, and loving.

One day you’ll be a grown, but for right now you’re my adorable baby boy…I love you.

Happy 1st Birthday, Joey!
