I know I say this every single month, but I cannot believe my baby boy has been in this world for 9 months! When I got pregnant with him, I remember thinking that 9 months was so long and I felt like I would be pregnant forever! Well, these past 9 months have flown by and although I am enjoying watching him grow & develop, I can't help but wish it wasn't happening so fast! Nate, you are Mommy's world and I love you more than I ever could have imagined. You are the best, sweetest, and smartest baby in the whole world and I am so glad that God chose me to be your Mommy!
