One year ago today we brought you into this world. You were so tiny (okay, at 9lb 3oz maybe not tiny, but you still seemed so small to us!), and so dependent on your Dad and I to care for you. It seems like you have grown literally right before our eyes- every day you discover something new and exciting! I can hardly believe the changes you have made in 365 days.
You make me smile each and every day, all throughout the day. There is not a time that I'm thinking about you that I don't feel my heart clench with love. From the sweet, rumply-haired, sleepy eyed little boy that I get to squeeze first thing each morning, to the on-the-go, determined, curious toddler during the day, and finally the worn out and fully relaxed baby I get to put to bed every evening... I love each and every part of you:)
At 1 year old you are crawling all over the place and walking along furniture or anything else that will give you support. Any day now you will be walking on your own! You are one of the happiest little guys I know- always ready with a heart melting smile when anybody looks your way or talks to you... you have made the day of many strangers by giving them your silly and sweet little 6-tooth grin:) Your dad and I love playing with you, some of your favorite things are being outside as the weather gets nicer, playing with your football, and flipping through books on your own.
We had a great day celebrating your birthday! Dad and I got you a new set of farm animals to play with and a brand new play tent for you to crawl through. I also made you some delicious chocolate cupcakes... maybe this can be a tradition! Here are some pictures from your big day!
Still at a stage where you are more interested in the wrapping paper than the gift inside...

Thank goodness this thing folds up easily so Dad and I can put it away after you go to bed:)
Mommy made you very special chocolate cupcakes for today- we shared them with your favorite girls at daycare, Nina and Angie.
Life doesn't get much better!
We love you Ben, and can't wait to see what this next year brings us!
Love, Mom
