My sweet Ashton,
Since Mommy wasn’t keeping up with things when you turned one, I decided to write you a letter for your 18 month birthday. So,
Happy Birthday, Little Man! You are such a joy to our lives! Your enthusiasm for life is contagious. I love how excited you get about so many things. You have such a joy that permeates from you and have such an incredibly happy disposition. You are so gregarious; you wave to everyone we pass while we are out. You are full of BIG love. You pucker up for kisses with Daddy, Addy, me, and anyone who is willing to reciprocate your affection. You love to give hugs (even though they sometimes tend to end in tackles). You are full of energy and love to be active. You adore fish which you pronounce “Pih” and will sit and “read” your favorite book which is currently Big Al and Shrimpy. You have a great laugh when you think something is funny. I pray that Jesus will capture your heart at an early age, and I can’t wait to see how God uses each of your unique personality traits to glorify Him! I love you, buddy!!!
Love,
Mommy
Grandma and Grandpa see these same traits in you, Ash, and we are praying also that you come to know Jesus as your Savior and Lord at as young an age as possible. You are so much fun to be with and we enjoy your hugs, too. It was great watching you at Animal Kingdom last week, especially when you saw all those fish! : )
