My dear, sweet, precious boys:
In a matter of seconds (or so it seems) you two have gone from my teeny tiny newborns to ONE year olds. This has been, without a doubt, the fastest, craziest, busiest, but absolute BEST year of my life. We really had no clue what we were in for or what to expect with twins…but you boys have far exceeded my expectations in the BEST way possible. Everyone warned us, “you are going to have your hands full, the first six months are awful/hard, you’ll never leave the house”….the list goes on, BUT I don’t feel like that was true with us at all. You boys have been amazing from the start and made our transition from a family of three to a family of five go MUCH better than we could have ever imagined.
Now, don’t get me wrong…we all had our moments. Everything wasn’t always rainbows and butterflies and I would never want anyone to think so….but it wasn’t nearly as hard or crazy as we thought it was going to be…and that was all because of Y’ALL. Neither of you were really fussy babies, you both nursed well, slept well and adjusted to each new “milestone” well. You both continue to amaze your dad and me on a daily basis, as much as we still can’t believe you two are ours we can’t imagine our life without y’all either. You boys have made my heart grow, my emotions soar, and happiness radiate, and for that I will be forever thankful.
My G man, grambo, peanut:
You, my little one, are sweet as sugar. You’ll probably hate me saying that one day…but good golly, I could just eat you right up. You are always smiling with your big beautiful eyes and giggling at anyone or thing that makes you laugh. You’ll clear a room to crawl in my lap (which makes my heart melt) and you seem to be very laid back. You are much more the one to sit back “and take it all in” and just watch the world around you. (Although you did turn in to QUITE the busy body at the beach this weekend and LOVED crawling STRAIGHT into the water). I hope you always have that sweet disposition about you and I hope you ALWAYS want to crawl in your mama’s lap. I love YOU more than you’ll ever know and am so thankful that God chose ME to be your mama.
My little putt putt:
You are my mini me, the only of my three that looks just like me…(everyone calls you mini Kenny!) and we already think that you, sweet boy, are going to take after your mama in the patience and stubbornness department as wellJ You are definitely our “wrecking ball” child….in to everything and a curious cat. You don’t sit still much and don’t like when you don’t get your way. See? Definitely your mother’s child ;-) It’s funny to think how worried I was about you during your short NICU stay…you left that hospital and never looked back! Your beautiful blue eyes remind me so much of your granddaddy’s as well as your love for food! You make me laugh almost every day and I cannot wait to watch your little personality blossom. I love YOU more than you’ll ever know and am so thankful that God chose ME to be your mama.
