My Bradley boy,
Time seems to speed up each day and it worries me because I want to remember every little thing about you. I love how much you love and need me. I'm still easily your favorite and whine each time I come into the room because you want me to pick you up. I love your laugh and silly noises. I love the way you look at me and raise your eyebrows as if to say "aren't you proud of me mom?" I love how much you love my hair and grab it for leverage when I hold you. I love how social you are. I love you chubby cheeks that are solid as can be. I love your energy and enthusiasm for everything you do. I love hearing you sing in the backseat of my car just to look back and see you playing with your toes and laughing at yourself. You get that from your dad. You are so special and I am certain you were meant for great things! I worry that I can teach you and instill in you the confidence to be and do anything! You are my proudest accomplishment and I fall in love with you every day! I am so lucky and wish you could stay little forever. But here's to the person you will become!
My heart is yours,
Your mama
