Dear Fletcher

Our sweet boy.  This year truly has been the best of our lives.  It’s amazing how you just fit with us… we couldn’t have guessed that our child would integrate so naturally into our lives, becoming our best companion.  You are such a joy to have around, all the time (even the screaming times!).  

Nothing in the world could replace your hugs and your big, sloppy open-mouthed kisses, or your giggles and babbles and huge grins.  From our first hours cuddling as a family in the hospital bed to you jumping in your own bed in excitement to see us in the morning, your affection towards us has been one of the most comforting and assuring feelings we’ve ever experienced.

We don’t mind that you spit up almost the entire first year of your life, or that you vomited all over us (several times) or all over the car, or that you try to eat the cats or that you really enjoying spitting food out or throwing it on the floor now, or temper tantrums or any of that stuff… we adore you so much.

Happy first birthday! We can’t wait to watch you grow.
