First Birthday

You're rough & tough

You love throwing things

You could spend the whole day throwing around your favourite red ball

You love to pat your hands on stuff to make noise

You yell "da" as a response to almost everything

You love looking out the window at the trucks & tractors across the street
You run squealing when Boone walks by wagging his tail because you think he's playing with you

You love Maggie but Maggie doesn't love you

Red is your favourite colour

You love other kids

You only say Mom if you're crying to get up in my arms

You eat pretty much 'everything'

You have an amazing appetite

You love when Dad chases you

You love music

You still don't sleep through the night

You bring myself & Dad smiles everyday

You bring smiles to us even on the hard days & sleepless nights

You have shown us a new kind of love that cannot be expressed with words alone

Jesse this past year has been amazing, hard work and so worth every minute

I wish I could slow time down

May this be the first of many many years of birthdays that we can share with you, dote on you and love you even more than the day before.

Happy Birthday Little Man
