I cannot believe it’s been a year since we’ve welcomed this spunky little man into our family.  What a blur of baby snuggles and mile stones it has been.  I am loving this age- the wobbly steps, the first words (and first opinions!), the giggles, and the constant discovery.  I could watch him explore all day.  Everything is new, and magnificent, and an exhilarating adventure through his little eyes.  And watching these two brothers play- it warms my heart like nothing else to see that friendship growing.  I am slightly nostalgic for those newborn baby cuddles, and I dread the day those baby cankles disappear, but I am so excited to watch you continue to grow, and learn, and be whoever your wonderful self will be.
