Happy Birthday Song!

Dear Song,
Today you turned one. The last year has been filled with adventures as we begin to learn what it is to be parents. We both enjoy watching you grow and learn about your environment.Your sense of wonder is such a joy and a gift to the world. We celebrate you and encourage you to follow your curiosity and delight. One year ago, your Ba caught you as you came into the world and his supportive heart and hands will always be there for you in times of need. You have come a long way from that 7.7 pound twenty inch newborn self. It only seems like yesterday that I was holding you zipped inside my sweatshirt like a little Joey inside a kangaroo pouch. You learned to sit up, to clap, to crawl, and to dance and sing. Your family is so proud of you. Sometimes I look into your face and think I am meeting ba's parents because other times you show a tender expression that is exactly like great grandpa Timberlake, or even great great grandma Timberlake. We think you might have inherited your inquisitive joy from both great grandpa Landowne and of course, your Ba. A year ago I called you into this world saying,come love and be loved. You have brought so much love into every day, we really are amazed at how many people stop us in the street and throughout our lives to smile and talk with you, they
Seem to be illuminated as they tell us again and again how remarkably bright you are. you have many friends in the world already. We have so many things that we want to share with you, it is hard to take time away to write down the feelings and wishes, we are so grateful that you are yourself and we are honored to be your parents.
