Dear Tanner,
Exactly one year ago today, you came into my life and touched my heart. For months I felt you kicking, rolling and hiccuping in my belly until finally I held you in my arms. I remember how tiny you felt, I remember your soft, fuzzy hair, your little swollen face and distinctive cry. I remember seeing your face and knowing (like I knew all along) that you would be Tanner.
Watching you grow and change over the months has been unbelievable. As Daddy likes to say, once you learned how to roll, you... "got that swagger!" You lived up to being the first born. Doing just about everything first and showing Gianni and Ella how to do it too. From day 1 you have been my little snuggle buddy... letting me know exactly when you need some shut eye. You love your little blanket, and even more so, you love stealing Ella and Gianni's.. running with them held high with a big grin from ear to ear. You are strong, slightly stubborn (no thanks to Daddy! hehe) and as sweet as honey.
You have changed my life in ways that I will never be able to completely make you understand. I promise to be there for you always, hug and kiss you even when it won't be 'cool' anymore, and love you unconditionally.
Happy First Birthday Tanner... I love you more than words.
- Mommy
