Happy Birthday James



My sweet baby boy James. I cannot believe you are 7! The day you were born was, in many ways, the best day of my life. I never knew the hearts capacity to love until you came into the world, and from the moment I held you I knew that being a mom is something I was always meant to do. You have always been calm and happy to observe. I remember asking over and over if you were OK right after you were born because you didn't make a sound, but had your eyes wide open and taking in all that there was to see.

When you were 2 you would sit on the floor for hours and put together puzzles because seeing how things worked was fascinating for you. You loved gears and Lego's and adored to be read to. When we brought Jack home from the hospital, the first thing you wanted was to hold him and kiss him and you were forever wanting to help change and feed him.

Right now, you are our computer whiz. Watch out if you are not allowed to play Webkinz or Club Penguin! Your brother pesters you constantly to play because he can't stand not having his best friend around, but you want to figure out how everything computer related works. You charm Joey into fits of giggles with your funny faces and voices and are there in a second to help him if he needs it.

You have grown into a beautiful, kind, loving little man and I could not be any more proud of you. Our lives are unimaginable without my James, and I thank God every day that I was chosen to be your mom. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!
