Dear Klayton,
It kind of makes me sad that your first birthday is just around the corner. You are growing to fast for your mama...I know that just means more fun. However, it also means your baby days will soon be over.
One of my favorite things is when you put your forehead and nose to mine and stare into my eyes while we rub noses! How did you get to be so sweet? I find myself saying this a lot; but God really did know what I needed when He brought you into our lives. I can always count on you to give me a smile, snuggle close or whatever when I need it. This month, while traveling we made a stop and this lady started oohing over you and talking to you. You gave her the biggest smile, when you did that she said, "thank you, you literally made my day and let me have a piece of joy!" And Klayton, you bring me and daddy joy every day!
I love you!
Love, Mama
