To my sweet Vince, With each passing month, I love you more and more, but I also grieve the baby we are leaving behind. It's an incredible journey, this first year, and I just wish it didn't go by so fast! This month you turned from a little lump of baby to a baby boy, with personality, and humor, and inquisition. You are the happiest, sweetest, most easygoing little fella and you sure make our lives enjoyable just being you. Your chubby little hands are all over the place, reaching, grabbing, finding things to explore and place in your mouth. When you nurse your hands are constantly moving, touching my face, caressing my hand, holding my fingers. You will even grab your toes and do little stretches all while getting your tummy filled up. It delights me to no end to see you enjoying your world through such careful and tender exploration. You ADORE your big sister Grace. She simply walks into the room and you laugh, smile or sing in her direction. If she happens to get down in your face to offer a kiss, a sweet remark, or a tight embrace, you go crazy with joy. When she asks to hold you, you will sit for minutes at a time, slumped to one side, squeezed within an inch of breathing, all with that characteristic Vince smile.
Thank you for being a sweet and gentle and completely mellow little man who delights us each day. Thank you for enduring the nearly nonstop kissing coming from any three of your enraptured family members. Most of all, thanks to God for giving us you, perfect child, to watch over and raise and enjoy. We couldn't be more in love.
Life is good with you in it, we love you to the moon!
The world is yours Vince.
Love,
Mom
