To my sweet baby boy

Reggie Russell, a year ago, you were placed in my arms and you have been rocking my world ever since. You were the most mild of babies, especially compared to your sister. (We love you Mya Jae!)
And you hardly ever cried, unless you were hungry or tired.
You have been adored by everyone, especially your big sister. She thinks you are the awesomest of little brothers and she is right.
You weren't the best sleeper until you were 6 months old, but then you figured it out, and have been sleeping like an angel since then.
You filled out nicely from the very beginning and those beautiful squishy cheeks melt my heart every day.
You eat like a champ and aren't picky about anything that's placed in front of you.

You have been very busy in the last year. You started crawling at 6 months and walking at 10 1/2, although you didn't really start cruising until just a couple of weeks before your birthday. Either way, this mama has had a hard time keeping up with you!

As I mentioned before, your big sissy just loves you. She is your super fan. You have no idea how lucky you are to have such a fantastic big sister.
You have loved your bottle for the last 5 months and I thought we'd never be able to get you to give it up, but in the last month, we've convinced you to give up all but one, which is in the morning. That's pretty good to me.
Reggie, overall, you are the smiliest, happiest baby I have ever met. You love life and life certainly loves you.
You celebrated your first birthday with all your friends and family and you were the star of the show. Needless to say, you loved every minute of it!

You have a sweet tooth like mommy and loved your yummy cake, but you didn't dig into it, like I was hoping. You were very polite but thoroughly enjoyed it. My dear son, you are a light in my world. You are all things sweet. Sweet face, sweet smile, sweet personality, and sweet laugh.
Now that you're a year old, you're starting to look and act like a big boy, but you will always be my baby. You're my love. This family would not be complete without you.

We love you Reggie!
