Once Around the Sun.

Ezra is celebrating his first birthday today.

Happy birthday little man!

You certainly have changed since the day you were born.

You are such a handsome little boy.

I plan to write you a birthday letter every year on my blog.

So here goes:

October 18, 2013

My dear, little Ezra Emerson,

Happy 1st birthday! The day you were born my life changed - I felt such joy.

Joy I haven't felt since the days my children were born. (Aunt Alexandra, Uncle Joshua and, of course, your father, David) 

There are so many reasons I love you.

I love the way you "knock" on my bedroom door when you want to see me and play in my room.

I love the way you dance like a little robot when you hear music.

I love the way you think it's funny when people sneeze!

I love the way you put everything you can on your head like a hat.

I love the way you fuss for me when I leave the room -even though I'm sure it makes your parents crazy!

I love watching you learn - you're such a little sponge.

Those are just a few reasons. There are so many more Ezra!

As you get older remember that I will always be there for you.

No matter what.

Love always,

Mimi
