John, I love you through and through*

I love you through and through.

I love your top side.

I love your bottom side.

I love your inside

and outside.

I love your happy side,

your sad side,

your silly side,

your mad side.

I love your fingers

and toes,

your ears

and nose.

I love your hair

and eyes,

your giggles,

and cries.

I love you running

and walking,

silent

and talking.

I love you through and through,

yesterday,

today,

and tomorrow too.

*Poem by Bernadette Rossetti-Shustak


I'm getting this post done a YEAR past my self-imposed deadline of John's first birthday. Like a similar post I wrote for Adam, and this one for Naomi, this contains pictures from John's twelfth month (and one from the day he was born.)
