Two Good to Be True

Dear Ryan,

Today you are twenty months old. I don't know where the time went, because it seems as if it was just yesterday that you were my little bitty baby. I can't imagine my life without you, my boy. You bring me so much joy and happiness just by being you. At twenty months old you love to read books. I mean you love it! This makes me so happy and proud. You love Brown Bear Brown Bear What do You See. You also enjoy touch and feel books. Right now your favorite is I See a Monster. You have a gentle, sweet spirit. You love to give hugs and kisses to the ones you love. The best thing is when I'm sitting and you come up to me and lay your head in my lap. It makes my heart melt every single time.

You are a pretty good eater and you take your time and enjoy your food. There's no rushing you through a meal! You love fruit, pasta, cheese, and crackers. You are growing so much and so fast! Your dad and I affectionately call you "Big Boy!" You know one thing that you do that makes me smile? You love to celebrate! When you do a job well done you belt out a loud, "I did it!" or "I got it!" and then you clap your hands so fast and hard! I think it's the most adorable thing!

You are my first born; the first one to make me a mommy. I don't have the words to express how much that means to me. I am in awe of you and how far you have come. I see you and I know that you will go far in this life. God has blessed you so tremendously. He has quite the plan for you, my boy. I promise to be the best mother I can be for you so I can do my part in helping you accomplish all that you are supposed to do. I am so proud of you and I love you so much, Ryan. The best part about you is everything.

Love,

Mommy
