You were born at Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Virginia at 9:02 pm on Thursday Feb 9, 2006 in what was a Virginia snow storm....nothing to compared to where we live now.... you weighed in at 8 pounds 2 oz and were 22 inches long......you had a full head of black hair....which proceeded to fall out shortly there after....
8 years later....you are closer to being as tall as me than being the squishy baby you once were....and I know it will happen sooner or later that you will pass me up in height....you resemble your father more than me....but you still have some of my traits in you....your hair color is all mine....even though you may have your father's skin tone....you still tan better than him....which is from me....and your attitude....well I will blame your father on that one....even though I know its mostly me......
This past year its been amazing to watch you grow and learn....the leaps and bounds you have made academically amazing me and your father....when we first put you in your new school you struggled with math at the end of last year....but since entering the second grade....you are now in the challenge group for math....meaning more homework....but that is good...that means you are smart....and doing exceptionally well with it if you need the extra sheet of harder math problems....you are taking after me when it comes to math....cuz lord knows english is not my strongest subject!....you can ask your dad all about the paper's, resumes, emails he has had to write for me.....
We started you up in swim lessons this past fall....and you are doing awesome at that.....you tested out of all the beginner levels and started in level 3....which you passed in your first attempt at it....and now you are in level 4...and man for only 30 minutes of class time they work you over....I have high expectations when it comes to swimming lessons...since your dad and I both used to swim competitively and I used to teach swim lessons myself.....but where you are now....they are doing a great job getting you to try as hard as you can to improve your skills....I love watching you every wednesday night.....you really enjoy it.....
Breyden you are our first born....we learned a lot from you along the way....you have taught us what unconditional love is from the moment we met.....you are a bright, eager to learn, independent little man....who is sassy at times....but loves nothing more than to hang out with his mom and especially his dad.....you are growing up into a little mini version of him....lord help us.....you have a big heart....but sometimes your sassiness gets in the way of that.....
Every year that you get older I know that the time you actually want to spend with us is slowly diminishing....someday soon it won't be cool to hangout with your parents anymore.....for now I will get what I can......
We love you and thank you for choosing us to be your parents!
Love your mom,
