Happy Birthday, little man.
You are a strong and spirited soul,
with sly dimples and those knowing eyes.
SO tough and yet so sweet.
You have a great laugh.

You love:
your brother
splashing in water
hugging
playing the piano
tumbling
gnawing on gigantic hunks of fruit
basketball
drumming on things
meeting new people
nursing
walking
pouncing on me when I'm reading the newspaper
dancing on the bed
music

We love you more than you will ever know.

  3. So, so cute! My son was born last year on September 8th, so I'm feeling the whole nostalgic-where-has-the-year-gone and my-baby-is-growing-up-feeling- too.

    Enjoy this special time with your son. By the way, you're on my blogroll of blogs I love. :)

    He truly is a most amazing child. Watching him grow into himself this past year has been an extraordinary & unbelievable blessing.

  8. Ahhh, Happy Birthday to your little sweetie!

    My little Anya turns 1 on the 11th...I am inspired to do the same photo montage as you. And I'm going to take some time that morning to finally write her birth story. (I had pre-e and was induced. The day after I wrote out my "doula, no drugs" etc birth plan, I was put on hospital bed rest. What timing, huh?)

    Love your blog, I think I found it through the sling song which my friends went nuts over. :)
