  3. ..and just like that, a year has passed.🥹🎂🩵 We truly cannot believe how quickly it went by. He was so little just the other day. Fully unaware of the world, just sleeping all day, gazing into our eyes and figuring out how to latch onto Mommy’s breast. 🥰 Kgosi, you have brought a whole new dynamic to our marriage and we thank God for it. You graduated us to “Parenthood” which is the greatest gift ever. You’ve reached all your milestones in record time which is very impressive (overachiever). You are smart, funny and so loving. You make every day worth it! 🥹 Thank you Lord for the best year ever. To many more! 🙌🏽😍 Happy Birthday ‘Tsile. 🎉 Mama le Papa love you always! ♥️🧸 📸 @salisaliphotography _________________________________ #RegoDiseKgosi #HappyBirthday #OneYearOld
