23 Months

How on earth.

I can not believe as I sit here and type this, 

that there is just one more month (ONE) until you turn two years old.

Two- as in you won't be one anymore. I can't even believe it.

How did that happen and how did time go by so fast?!

I could sit here and list everything that I love about you at this age

and how sad I am that you are getting bigger by the day-

but at the same time, 

more and more proud of you with each passing minuet. 

But instead, 

I just want to tell you how much I love you. 

Like, I know that is an obvious statement,

but at the end of each and every day,

after things settle down from all the craziness that

simple but powerful thought circles my mind.

So after the calm, relaxing, snuggle filled mornings, 

and the crazy, hectic, sometimes tantrum throwing afternoons

at night, 

when those little eyes finally close,

and I get one last cuddle for the day in,

that is all I can think about.

I don't know how it is possible to love someone 

so much that you literally can't explain it, 

and that sometimes your heart LITERALLY feels

like it is going to explode

but I just want you to know it is the most amazing feeling in the world.

Hands down, nothing is better.

So here is to one more month hanging out with my 

one year old...

my best friend, and the most amazing little boy in the world.

You make me the happiest mommy,

and I love you more than all the hot wheels in the world!
