It has been a joy having you join our family. I look forward to watching you grow every year. You are a blessing to me and the rest of our family.
The nickname you earned yourself your first year of life was “Smily Joe” because you are such a smily baby. You always know how to make everyone smile and laugh. I Love you son.
Rockford's 1st birthday (May 2009)
Three years ago today at 8:24am the doctor placed a beautiful little baby boy on my chest and my life as I knew it, would never be the same again.Rockford Miles Ramirez, my son, was 7 pounds 7 ounces and 21 inches long and perfect, for me. Throughout his little life he has been blessed to be surrounded with a loving community of friends and family. This is another letter to my son.
Well I have really taken to heart the concept of finding joy in the simple things in life. I am enjoying my view through the eyes of my toddlers and want to bring you a series I want to call simply…”Simple Pleasures”, how appropriate. So take note and start enjoying your simple moments in life they will live in your child’s memory forever.
