to our sweet boy, mccoy...

how do we even begin to express what you mean to us...after a long year of trying to conceive, we finally found out we were pregnant with you! for those very special nine months we waited to find out what we were having...on the morning of june 26th (two weeks early), it was time to head to the hospital...at 9:54 that evening, you arrived "sunny side up"...we quickly found out, we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy! your daddy and i remember that day like it was yesterday.

it makes us smile each day, when you wake up to see your bright eyes and the biggest smile on your face...your personality is precious! you are very aware and attentive at all times...watching everyone and what they are doing...you are also extremely laid back, everything about you has been easy going...sleeping, eating habits and playtime.

you love it when we chase after you, but especially when we make funny faces...you just laugh and giggle away...at night, your daddy and i watch you on the monitor and talk about how we want to go pick you up cause you are sleeping so sweet!

life is an amazing thing to watch happen...to think that your daddy and i are lucky enough to be a part of your life from the very beginning...and to continue watching you grow and learn and explore...the toddler years are upon us...and we will take them on head first...and then one day, you will become a young man..our wish for you as you do grow...is to remain true to yourself and have confidence in the man you have become.

one day, you will meet someone, and we can only wish you find someone like your daddy and i have...love between two soul mates is an amazing thing...then they have a child, and the love only grows stronger, wider and longer in every direction.

each day is a blessing that we get to spend with you! we thank God that he has trusted us in loving and caring for you.

happy birthday mccoy emerson

all of our love

mommy and daddy
