Jake Bowman,

You are an amazing little guy. You are so happy and fill your father's and my life with so much joy. We are so lucky to have you. I wanted to write you a little letter so you know how much we love you. 

Everyday you and I go for walks with our dog Brady and we take in the sunshine. We live at the beach so we play on the beach and at the park at the end of our block. You hang out with Victoria (3 weeks younger than you), and Elijah (a year older). They are your best buddies. 

Your smile lights up the room. Everyone says how happy and adorable you are. I totally agree... but, I'm bias. You look so much like your daddy. Your dad is so proud of you. Everywhere we go your dad wants to hold you. You are so loved. I'm lucky enough to be a stay at home mommy, so I see all your milestones the second they happen. We play, read, walk, run, and laugh all day. Now, I currently chase you all around the house! Your fast little guy! 

Our family is in different states, but this has made our relationship as a family so strong. We rely on each other. I have learned everything by reading and watching you. I didn't think I would ever be able to do this without my mom. But, I am! It's not as hard as I thought it would be. Your Ya Ya and Pop Pop call you everyday! You get really excited when you hear their voices! You try and grab the phone and talk back! Such the little chatter you are! We are going to Boise in July! I seriously CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! You will be able to play in their yard and chase after Coco and Casey (your grandparents dogs). Soon we'll have you on the golf course with Dylan!

You are taking a nap right now, so I wanted to write a quick letter to you. Before I put you down I held you tight and thanked God that I'm your mommy. I'm truly blessed beyond belief. I'm excited to see you grow into a little person. Always remember that I love you more than anything and that I will do anything for you! 

Love always and forever,

Your mommy.
