Happy 1st Birthday!


Dear Zane,

You’re now ONE!  Happy 1st birthday, my precious son!  

Your dad and I are seriously in awe every day that God gave us you… because you’re amazing.  We feel so incredibly blessed!   It's been one of the best years of our lives because of YOU. 


We love your sweet, joyful spirit.  You do so many adorable things and one of which is this head bow where you look up at the person- it’s such a “flirty” look.  Another is when you shake your head “no”.  You do both moves as some sort of endearment.   You’ll do it to family, friends, and even strangers and everyone adores it.  My favorite is when I sometimes have to tell you not to do something and you pull out these moves.  It seriously melts my heart.


You're now surfing furniture with confidence, walking with a walker, and considering crawling.  You're now more interested in books more than ever before and turning the pages as we go.  Your favorite foods are avocado, peas and raspberries.  You love your new outdoor swing, musical toys, and stacking cups.    


We had so much fun celebrating your first birthday!  Surprisingly, you tasted your first cupcake and didn't show much interested.  I then presented you with peas and carrots and you dove right in.  We went with a teal theme for the party since that color was just one of the ways we saw God in the details of finding you (read more about it here). 


In the days surrounding your first birthday I couldn't help but reflect on your birth parents.  We mourn in remembrance of them, and we will mourn with you.  Son, we’ll always be there for you- to walk along side you, support you, listen to you, pray with you and love you.

You're an incredible boy who is loved by many.  Happy Birthday, my sweet, sweet boy!

Hugs and kisses,
Your forever Mom (and Dad)
