Happy 11m Birthday, Alexander

Surely, my sweet cuddlebug, the date must be wrong. It cant be October. It cant be 11 months since you were born. That is too long without feeling you in my belly... in my arms... I knew that this day would come, when I would could down to your first birthday in days instead of months. And here were are. A month away.

Your daddy told me with a smile "I'll be having fruit loops for breakfast". I'll have them too... And dont forget tuna fish salad sandwiches and tomato soup for dinner! I'll make it special when I come home from visiting your baby brother and sister. I'll even put the soup in the special mugs your grandma bought to celebrate one of your monthly birthdays when I was in the hospital.

I miss you so much, Alexander. I remember everything about you from your little nose and tiny fingers to the way you felt kicking your way into the world. I'll never forget.

Happy 11 month Birthday, sweet cuddlebug... Sweet Alexander. We love you so much.
