Happy 7th Birthday Sweet Christopher!

I recall a year ago today,
sitting in the hospital.
Cuddling, staring, and soaking in the life,
of a sweet 8 and a half pound baby boy.

Full of health and life,
peaceful, content, and soft,
fully enjoying his spot,
in the crook of my arm.

Spontaneous he arrived,
a beginning to his lifestyle.
A spontaneity for life,
which depicts his personality.

Larger than life,
yet a bit on the quiet side.
Few words shared,
and secretly intelligent.

My unique middle son,
adding much humor,
the joy you bring to my life,
I love you, Christopher Lucas Ridlon!
