HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVIN!

Today is my little Davin's first BIRTHDAY!

Dear Davin,

Happy Birthday Buddy! One year ago you were born into our little family around 2:30pm. Mommy remembers it was a COLD, snowy, and foggy day. It didn't matter how the weather was outside, we were as happy as could be. You were a "RAY" of sunshine into our lives. We loved you SOOO much right off of the bat. Mommy felt a very close bond with you right away. Mommy knew that you and her were going to be good buddies.

We had been very nervous the weeks previous. Mommy had lost all of the amniotic fluids early somehow and it was very scary. The doctors monitored you every other day..and mommy had LOTS of ultrasounds. Mommy also was on bed rest for as long as the doctor dared....and then it was time and she was started. Mommy had a blessing and we prayed that you would be as healthy as could be. YOU WERE!! Three weeks and 3 days early..you were born. To our surprise you were a lot bigger than doctors had thought 6# 10oz...and VERY HEALTHY! What a blessing. We were sooo happy and grateful that you were ok. (there had been MANY MANY MANY prayers sent heaven word.)

You never quite looked like either your Mommy, Daddy or Tate. We all wondered who you looked like...we still kinda wonder at times. Mommy knows that you are ours, due to her watching you being born..haa haa. Some people joke and say that you are the mail mans..but that couldn't be...HE is a SHE! Funny times. No matter who you look like, we LOVE YOU ALL THE SAME!

You have been and are a complete joy. We wouldn't want to trade anything no matter how hard and frustrating things may be or get. Always remember we LOVE you more than anything!! :)

What a WONDERFUL year this last one has been. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Happy Birthday DAVIN (AKA: stinkers)

Love your Mommy, Daddy and Tate!

Has it been a year already???? I remember when he was born (and I remember some of those pictures from the time too, particularly the hospital food pic). My goodness, time goes way too fast.
He is a doll, and I'm so happy he's a healthy happy baby for you.... time for another one????

Brittnee said...

Happy Birthday Davin. It is so hard to believe that he is already one. This last year went by so fast.

Having just been there, your labor and delivery photos look so familiar to me:)!! I am trying to enjoy the good things about this time while they last because the little stinkers grow up SOOOOOOO fast! It seems like it takes so long to get them here and then poof, they're 5 years old :)

Happy Birthday Davin! So cute!!

Payne Family said...

Cute post. I loved all the pictures because I don't remember when he was born for some reason. Maybe it was because I was focused on getting rid of my FAT belly in 30 days after that!!! I didn't realize he was such a tiny little guy. He's a cutie.

So cute! So funny that we were due the same day and then had babies early! Davin was still bigger then Brookie, healthy little dude. :)
