10 fingers......

Robert Tucker Lamoreaux.....

On this day, 10 years ago, I had been laboring for 23 hours. Your dad paced the hospital grounds and confided to your grandpa that he was so nervous, that he just wanted to count 10 fingers and 10 toes just to make sure you were perfect.
You were.....

You are!

Today you are 10 fingers old. How did that happen?
All I know is that the day you were born all my dreams came true.
You were a gorgeous baby. You have one dimple in your right cheek that melts me every time you smile. You were such a happy enthusiastic little child. You loved to snuggle (still do)! You have so many of your dad's wonderful personality traits. You have always had the most tender and kind heart. You never exclude anyone.

You were the first.
You choose everyday to be a leader and the good example to your siblings and friends.
Your brothers and sister adore you.
You love to laugh. Abe can make you laugh harder than ANYONE!
Everything about you emulates good and lightness. You are one of my best friends and when dad is gone you step right up and help in all you can.

I am so glad you are ours. We are so very proud of you son. Happy Birthday! I hope your day is wonderful and that this tenth year is a great one. You deserve the best!

p.s. You are frighteningly good looking!
