My Baby boy is officically not a "baby" any more.  Thank goodness for your buddah belly and chubby yummy knees to remind us your still a little guy.  From the time I went into labor everything with you has been "easy". fortunatley for me you gave me an easy 4 hour labor and delivery, followed by a mellow, content, good sleeping newborn.  Not much has changed in your personality. You are so happy and content. You are the best little eater and sleeper (thank you!).  you constantly light up the room with your smile and you make everyone's day brighter (including strangers we see on daily outings).  I've been able to fully enjoy each stage you've mastered the past year.  From sleepless night feedings to watching you play, and waddle, I've enjoyed every second of you.  Your the ying to my yang.  Your the bright sunshine that is the start and end of my day and lights up my world.  You complete us as a family, you complete me as a mom.  You are my angel baby, even when the "baby" is long gone.  I love you too pieces Dylan!!!!
