Happy birthday, little one! I can hardly believe that it has been one year already! It seems like just yesterday that we were meeting you for the first time, introducing you to your big brother and everyone else in the family and bringing you home with us. In the last year, we have grown to love you so much!
You are such a good baby. You hardly ever fuss unless you are hungry or tired and even then you tend to just roll with the punches. Your big brother is often the squeaky wheel but you generally seem to be ok with that. You are often happy to play on your own, especially when you have a chance to play with Evan's toys. You love music and dance whenever you hear it, just like Evan.
I am amazed when I think about how helpless you were when you were born (as all babies are), totally dependent on mom and dad for everything. Now you can feed yourself, crawl to where you want to go, and communicate with noises and gestures. Before long you will be walking and talking! I already know you are a smart little boy as you understand what we are saying to you and can follow basic commands already.
You have five teeth with a few more on the way, are wearing size 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers. Your favorite foods are fruit, especially watermelon and strawberries, cheese, yogurt, and basically anything else mommy, daddy or Evan are eating. If someone around you is eating, you crawl over to beg at their feet for a bite, as if we never feed you! You sing to your food just like Uncle Ty. While grocery shopping, when you see fruit, you start saying "Nom, nom, nom, nom" quite loudly, almost demanding bites before we leave the store. You aren't crazy about using a sippy cup but that's ok because I can get a fix of snuggle time with you while I give you a bottle.
You have become such a part of our family that I can't imagine our life without you. I have already witnessed a close bond between you and Evan, one which continues to grow everyday! I know there will be plenty of times when you boys fight and aren't getting along but my hope is that you will always be best friends, especially as adults! Thank you for being an amazing little guy and bringing such joy into our life. We love you so much!!
Love always,
Mom.
Amazing how much changes in just one year?
