Will turned One!

Will turned one yesterday! We had a small dinner with grandparents and just our little family...it was a perfect first birthday!

Sweet boy, where do I begin? Your smile melts me to my core...and most everyone who ever comes in contact with you. Your sunday school teachers usually carry you out of the room and almost into the parking lot...they say every week that they would take you home any day I would let them. : ) You have the softest skin and the best cuddles. You are a BUSY body. You are very cuddly and loving....but at the same time you are very busy and into everything....you don't stop often, but when you do, you make the most of every cuddle. You love music and love to dance. You love to play wherever Liza is. You are starting to walk....you took your first steps about 3 weeks ago! You are still a faster crawler, but you are walking more and more everyday. You are a very picky eater...would prefer goldfish and animal crackers over anything else. You aren't saying much...although you just started "uh-oh." And, you love to mimick noises and funny faces. And sometimes when you are fussing, I can almost see you trying to mouth the words "ma-ma" but nothing comes out. You are just so fun and easy-going. You are the perfect 4th puzzle piece in our family. I am starting to see a bit of a sneaky side in you....Liza loves to steal the show....but you have a way of sneaking in some attention just when you need it. I can't wait to see how much you grow and change in another year.

Sweet angel, we pray for you to grow to be a man of courage and quiet strength. We pray God takes your easy-going personality and uses it for His kingdom. We are in love with your one year old self and are the proudest parents around!
