Happy Birthday!

Dear Little Dude,
Today is your day! I simply can not believe that you are already one. Your daddy thinks this year went by faster then any other year ever! I kinda agree. I'm so glad it was a leap year, I got a whole extra day with you as a baby!

Some day you might look at this blog and wonder why I rarely ever write about you. You might wonder if it's because you just didn't do anything worthy of writing about or if I just didn't think that the things you do are important. It is neither of those things. You do SO many wonderful things that I just don't have time to write about them. You keep your mama very busy!

You are so smart! Everyday you remind me of that. You are walking (running really!). You are talking (mama, dada, nigh nigh aka pacifier, airplane, you call both Patches and Cuddles ba or baba, and I've heard you calling Stowa something that sounds like her name but I can't quite replicate it). You wave goodbye and you clap whenever anyone says Yay! You're starting to dance which makes us all laugh. It is just so cute! You're trying your best to jump. You are getting so close!

You love your big sister. You'd follow her anywhere. She's your buddy! She loves you too but she does wish you would leave her stuff alone and please stop pulling her hair.

The cats are a great source of amusement for you. Cuddles prefers that you keep your distance. Patches seems to enjoy when you snuggle her. You are already so gentle with them. I think the love of animals is in you already.

Know what else you love? Airplanes! For some reason you adore them. You hear them before the rest of us, point up to the sky and stare as they fly over. You said airplane before you said dada. Silly boy.

I love you baby. Forever and for always. I'm excited to see where you take us next!

Mama

P.S. When we woke up today I looked at the clock. 7:40 am. The exact time that you were born. I thought it was a really cool coincidence.
