Happy birthday beautiful boy! Did you know you were born six years ago this morning? Six years! They say it goes fast, but perhaps it races along even faster than I could have anticipated. Your joy, your smile, your love have become part of my every day and I can't imagine the before very well at all any more! You just are, and you are my light and my sunshine, every, single, day!! I am so thankful and lucky to be your momma.
This year is filled with reflection, because you were born on a Saturday. I remember six years ago, going in on Friday - I was measuring a bit too small and the doctors were worried about you. There was no idea yet, that you had Trisomy 21 (or Down Syndrome as it's more common to call it). And when you surprised me with all of that, I never wavered - you were my son, my baby and I knew without a shadow of a doubt, we would get through everything together. You were my rock and I was determined to be yours!
At 9:32am on that beautiful , sunny (and HOT) Saturday morning, you were born, your tiny cries touching my heart. I will never forget that sound and I loved you so much before I had even seen you.
Nowadays, you run and run and jump and jump and I wonder how you can have so much energy!! You are quick, and intelligent! I watch how you remember so many things and work so hard to say even simple words. I love your determination and your feisty spirit. You love life and it shows in so many ways. You give a 110% whether you are swinging or running or jumping or trying to spit out the word "I-pah, pweeeeese" (Ipad, please). My heart is happy and my life is full with you part of it.
Did you notice the other day? We bought new shoes. Somehow you are already wearing a size 12 shoe!! You are growing so fast! I hope no matter what, you will always give me that million mega watt smile that makes my whole day bright. Thank you, Blake Alan, for being my baby, my son. I love you more than life.
