It felt more like 364 days...


Today is my son's first birthday.

How time flies.

I really cannot believe that 365 days ago we were welcoming him into this world. And on that day he completed our family in more ways then he will ever know.

His sisters absolutely adore him. And really they should get some credit for raising him to this point, because without their help I would not have made it through this year.

They get him food, give him is bottle, and keep him giggling. And they put out the APB when he has something (anything) in his mouth that is not a food product. Bless them.

It goes without saying that he is the prince of our house.


He crawls faster than any two legged being I've ever seen. In fact, he gets going so fast sometimes that his arms can't keep up with his quick little legs and he dives head first onto the floor. He then cries as if somebody done him wrong.

He has a serious love affair going with his blanket, which I foresee being in his life for quite some time. He even takes it a little further and has extra-blanketal affairs with any blanket or pillow in his vicinity. Just quick little three second snuggles that will last him until he returns to his true love.


He loves to snuggle close with mommy and daddy after nap time (and truth be told, he prefers daddy).

He never wants to stop playing to take a nap or go to bed, and yet, he does it anyway. And withouth barely a fuss. Yes, he is that angelic.

He is the most happy-go-lucky person I know.

With all that happiness on his side, I know he will always make his own good luck.

Because when he smiles at you, his heart reaches out, takes your hand and guides you to your happy place.

He is our son.
