Well, little boy -today you officially became ours. In our hearts you have been ours for more than a year – but in the eyes of the courts you became a Peterson today! I love you so much and I’m glad you became a part of our family! You have grown so much over the last 9 months!
When you got here you were crawling and we spent a lot of time carrying you around. Then in November you decided you wanted to keep up with your cousins and started walking. Now you are running and climbing and moving so quickly. You love to play with your toys and love to read books with us before your nap or bedtime. We have so much fun with you in the splash pads and the bathtub – you REALLY like water. You are signing so much and having fun experimenting with sounds while you figure out how to make those sounds into words.
You love fruit of all types and will eat rice anytime it’s served to you. You love your milk and ask for it all the time. You have a great sense of humor and the most wonderful giggle and you love to snuggle with us while watching Sesame Street or Signing Time. You love your friends Lilia and McKenna and can’t wait to play with them. You love your grampas so much! You laugh and giggle with them and play all sorts of games with them.
You love it when your daddy comes home from work – you stand at the gate and laugh and yell for him as he walks in … what a wonderful sight to come home to! I love to watch you wake up and see me when I come in to get you after your nap – you smile and laugh and grab for your blanket or your stuffed birdie! Then you sign dog and bird because you want to see our dog and birds! You are so helpful then by pulling off the covers on the bird cages – and you try to brush Cairo too!
It’s so much fun watching you discover the world around you! You are adventurous and excited and so out-going! You love making friends and you often flirt with the waitstaff or other people at restaurants. You love the people at our church and love to run up and pat people on the legs to let them know you are there!
I thank God for you and I am looking forward to years of watching you grow up!
Aw!! He’s been a Peterson in spirit all along, but now it’s official! Congrats to the most wonderful, loving parents
