Dear Gianni...


Dear Gianni,

Today you turn 1 year old. Today I look at you and think back to when we first met. My Big Guy... for months I knew you would be my Big Guy. You would be the one to carry your Grandpoppy's name. You, and only you, would be my Gianni Batista.

I looked at you and fell in love. Love at first sight... yes, it does exist. I remember hearing your cry and thinking to myself, I can't believe he is mine. I remember Daddy bringing you to me and showing off your little fuzzy head, little fuzzy ears and little fuzzy back. We had our little 'Tally' baby. You were the first to really smile at me. It was at that moment, that I truly felt like a Mom. Throughout the past year, I've watched you grow into this beautiful, sweet little man. You love to play and be chased. You are ticklish from head to toe and everywhere in between. You give the best big, sloppy kisses and enjoy every meal to its fullest. You are solid, you are sensitive and a true "Momma's boy" in every sense of the word.

I can not imagine my life without you. I promise to be your rock, your sounding board, your everything. I promise to hold on tight when I need to and let go when you need it most.

Happy First Birthday Gianni... I love you to the moon and back.
- Mommy
