Today is your first birthday! Your daddy and I cannot believe it has already been 1 year since you were born! It seems like maybe a couple of months ago that we brought you home from the hospital...not a whole year.

You are a very special boy. You bring us SO MUCH JOY! You have SO many people who love you...from the people that I work with, people we go to church with, our friends, your great aunts and great uncles, your cousins, your aunts and uncles, grandparents, great grandparents...and of course your momma and daddy! You are a loved and blessed little boy!
We have watched in amazement as you have grown from a little bitty baby to a not so little baby to now a little boy. I love that people still call you baby Ryan...I hope this does not go away anytime soon! Watching a child develop is truly a great miracle! God sure is gracious to let parents be involved in this miracle.
There is nothing like seeing you smile at us, hearing you "talk" to us or hearing you laugh. You like to cuddle with us and we love every second of it! During the past week, you have started following me when I go from room to room in the house. I am glad for you to have a little freedom...I know it must feel good!
We feel like the most blessed people in the world that God chose us to be your parents! We look forward to the years ahead...but don't want them to go by too fast! We will cherish each day that we have with you. We love the person that you already are...and look forward to seeing the person that you will become!
We couldn't love you more,
Your momma and daddy
