one whole year

Exactly a year ago this minute I was holding my fresh, still purple newborn son in my arms and I couldn't resist the urge to dedicate this minute to him.
Today he scoots, growls, smiles, laughs, makes all of us laugh, loves bel, baths, bubbles and eating everything we will give him (except peaches), he loves playing the piano and guitar or listening to his dad play guitar, he is a champion napper, not a huge fan of strangers, digs riding in shopping carts with his sister and will crumble into tears and bury his face on the floor if you tell him no or take something away from him. He has added new depth and excitement to our little family dynamic and we love him like crazy!
Happy Birthday Jack!

It doesn't seem possible that Jack is a whole year old! With all of the snow on the ground here it seems like yesterday that I loaned Ryan the shovel to be sure you could get to the hospital in time. Please give Jack a hug from me-I miss you guys more than you can imagine.

I can't believe he is one year old. It honestly feels like yesterday I was chatting with my family about him being born!! It's so sad how fast that year goes. I can't wait to meet Jack, I'm so glad I've had a chance to meet precious Bel.

Sounds like Jack & Henry are at the same stage...tears and lying on the floor when something is taken away from him. Wish they could play together.

Happy B-day to both Bel and Jack!
