Today is Mother's Day

What? It isn't? Yes, it is... for me. Today, a year ago, a sweet baby boy was born. 4:23 pm weighing at 8lbs 5oz, and 20 3/4 in. long. Perfection!
I am perplexed at how fast time is moving, and delighted, grateful, for those lazy moments that we spend together, that seem to go so slow.
What can I say? It's all been said before, "a mother's love" this... "when you are a mom, you'll understand" that... And really, all I can say is that today I am grateful for you.
Dear Iker- I'm grateful for your silliness, for your amazing smile that brightens my day and the day of those around you. My heart melts when you start bobbing your head and dancing the minute you hear music. I love that you sing with me and love to play peekaboo. I am thrilled that you love your daddy, and you look for him the second he steps outside of your gaze. You are adventurous, and brave, and I admire that.
I can go on and on, but the thing I am most grateful for, is the trust that has been placed upon us by Heavenly Father to provide a loving home to you, to give you everything you may need- spiritually and physically.

I don't hope for time to slow down, I want to see you grow. I only pray that I make the time to savor every milestone you reach in each stage of your life. Thank you for making me a Momma.
Happy birthday 'sneaky boy'!
Love,
Denise
