Noah: I love you because...

your laugh is infectious & always puts a smile on my face*your speech is improving daily and we are really starting to communicate better*your dimples are so sweet*your big wet sloppy kisses right on the mouth*you love to wrestle*you sit up in your bed quietly each morning and patiently wait for me to get you*you don't fight us on nap/bedtimes anymore*you come up with your own words for things*you patiently wait by the window waiting for dad to come home each day*you always say "thank you mommy, pease mommy"*you get sad if you see other children cry*you play so nicely with your friends*you get so excited about everything*you cheer when we arrive to places you recognize*you love to dance & sing*you're outgoing like your mom*you're a jokester like your dad*you love animals*you love to swim and anything beach related*you hold my hand*you want a hug after time outs*you always say you're sorry*you're interested in everything*you are willing to try anything new!

most of all because...you are mine <3
