My Baby Joe

To my dear sweet baby Joe,

My what a surprise you were to us when you decided to join our family on the morning of Halloween last year, instead of Dec. 12 like the Dr told us you would come. You had a few challenges. Nothing we couldn't tackle. It's crazy to see you go from this little guy we were not allowed to hold, to this big guy who busts outta his clothes! You are and have been such a wonderful blessing to me and your daddy! You have such a joyful personality. Everyone who is around you can feel of your happiness. You are always keeping all of us entertained. Even your big sister loves you and is so protective of you! Your Papa misses you like crazy! He wishes so bad he could be around to watch you grow up! When you were first born, you would laugh at him when ever he just looked at you! You could feel of his special love he had for you in his heart! Don't ever forget that! We love you Baby Joe!! We are so glad you had a happy birthday!!!
