My Tuttlebutt

Shawn Thomas Swartz was
born on Jan. 3,1991. After 19 hours,
he entered this world at 2:15 a.m.weighing in at 6lbs. 13oz.
and was 20 inches long. He arrived without
any problems or complications. The very minute
he entered this world I knew I had something
special, something very special. Shawn is such a
wonderful child, he always has been. I have
so many wonderful stories to tell of him and his
little escapades. One thing is for sure with Shawn
around life is never boring. It seems like only
yesterday they placed a beautiful baby boy in my
arms and said congratulations it's a boy! I had
thought he was going to be a girl so I asked the doctor
if he was sure and he said Cindy I think I've
done this enough to know the difference between
boys and girls. I didn't really care what sex
he was I just knew he was my baby and was going to
be my life from then on.

Shawn is compassionate, understanding, loving,
caring and most of all forgiving. He has such
a great sense of humor and always has. From the time
he got his first ride-in car that "won't crank" to
the time he wanted "Cindy-reller get me out!"
to the time that "Ladies just don't
understand little boys". I have so many wonderful
memories of Shawn and his early childhood, and I'm
looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Now, this past January 3rd, my not
so baby any more, turned 9 years old. I can't
believe the time has flown by so fast. It doesn't
seem quite right. If I'd known he was going to
grow up so fast I would have taken much more care
to watch him grow up. I would have tried to record
every thing I possibly could and I wouldn't have
taken it for granted that he was going to stay a
baby forever. I can't turn back the hands of time
and make him a baby again, however I can
make a promise to enjoy as much as I
can now though, and I plan to do just that.

Shawn has filled my life with such joy and happiness.
I can never put into words the complete picture of
how much he does mean tome. There just aren't enough
adjectives to describe the love that fills my very
soul let alone my heart. No one could possibly
ever fill his place I love my Tuttlebutt
with all my heart and soul. That
little baby has turned out to be quite a handsome
and "grown-up" little man.
Each day with Shawn is so terribly precious
and all too short. If I could have any child in the
world in any form I wouldn't change a thing........
YOU CAN'T IMPROVE ON PERFECTION!!!!!
I love you Tut!!!!
Love Always, Mom
