“You are my heart, my soul, and everything in between, Townes Loreto Bean” -♥️ mama

Happy 1st birthday to our precious boy. It’s hard to believe it’s been 1 whole year since we had you. It’s been a year full of pure love, joy, and magic. You’ve completed our family in ways we never knew possible. But mama ain’t gonna lie. It’s also been a difficult year. 4th baby is supposed to be a breeze, right? Roll w the punches and anything goes. That, we’ve done for sure.

You’ve spent many a night at ball fields, seen your share of days at the gym for volleyball, cheer, or basketball, been passed around like a rag doll to anyone and everyone, waited in parking lots w mama while feeding, and more. Bc of that you’re one easy going dude, but it also meant we sacrificed much of a schedule for you and put off starting solids foreverrrr. Mama started co sleeping and feeding you fairly early on in order to get more sleep, but you took it and ran w it, bubs. Took it and ran w it 🥵 It may wear me out at times, but it also made my day to day breastfeeding journey much easier w you than it was w your sissies. I haven’t had to fight nearly as hard to keep my supply up AND I’m quite certain it contributed to making you THE snuggliest of all of our bebes. I didn’t think a baby could get any more snuggly than Dylan was but boy, you’s the bees knees.

Dish out those lovins, sweet boy. Ain’t nobody in your world gonna deny them. You are ridiculously loved and rotten. Your sissies fight over you - whether that’s bc they want you or don’t want you 😆 You’re the definition of a mama’s boy, but it’s clear you love them just as much as they do you and daddy as well. What a bittersweet year it’s been, soaking in all that is you and all that last baby deliciousness. Too many moments to count where time stood still and I told myself to etch this in my memory forever 🥰
