Everdearest Logan,
One year. Some days were long. Some nights longer. And at the same time, one year passed in a flash. Did it feel the same for you? I often think about how you're feeling. How you've absorbed the energy around you, processed the events, and learned from the interactions. One year in the life of a baby...I'm sure you're wiser than we assume. There's a little flash in your eyes that tell me so. A little sparkle in your smile... The first few months were a blur, and the next few months even blurrier. We saw the other side of skin infections and flare ups, while learning that you had food allergies that triggered your eczema. Once your skin cleared up, you seemed ready to tackle life - learning to walk and talk and do all the little things adults take for granted. It has been so fun to see you develop! We celebrated your first birthday with rainbows, because you were the rainbow baby that came after we missed your sisters. Beyond appreciation, you've taught us all such valuable lessons in life. Then again, there's not much above appreciation. I'm grateful for you, for all the happiness you bring out in people, for the extra attention you selectively give. I hope you grow up knowing how much you mean to people. I hope you grow up as your own person, (and don't let us label you into anything)! You are exactly who you're meant to be, and I love you for all of it. Always and every day, Mama.
