Dear Mr. Man, Lou, Sweet Lou, Baby Louie, Little Louie…

Can you tell how much of a little personality you have already? All the sweet nicknames people have for you and your crazy wild personality! You might be the smiliest kid we know! And the friendliest! On our walks where you waive and say hi to every single person walking by- I love how you don’t miss a single person.

This year has been such a big year for you. So many firsts- walking, starting to talk, moving into a big boy bed… every next step I get so nervous for you to take and you adjust like a champ!

You have my heart little man… when I’m away at work you are always on my mind. I constantly worry that you are with people that will care for you and want to give you the best days possible. Luckily you are surrounded by people that love you so Mommy can go to work and get to do what she loves almost as much she loves being with you.

This coming year is going to be an exciting one! You are talking more and more every day- and all the time! (Just like your daddy!) Take it easy on us and this whole “terrible twos” thing. We can’t wait to watch you grow and become the little man you are already becoming!

I love you more than words can describe,

Momma
