Yay! You are One!
I cannot believe that it has been one year since you arrived! I can't imagine life without you, but this year has flown by. You are, like your brother and sisters, hard headed and stubborn and want to get your own way. You and Anna have a special little bond and I can hear you two laughing and talking much later than you are supposed to.
Mila frustrates you no end because she takes your toys and you hold your own when screaming at her. I think you are saying, "please, I was playing with that play-dough container and would like to keep it on my head, if you don't mind. But I'd prefer that you not hit me on the head with the wooden spoon because the metal bottom makes it very loud. Thank you." I could be wrong.
Eddie adores you, when he's paying attention and not playing weird video games on his father's computer. [note: some people have a lot of time on their hands to make some of these little flash games.]
Anyway, we are so glad you are here and we love that you have chunky little legs, a strange pointy comb-over, and like those before you, squish peas in your fingers before throwing them over the side of the high-chair. Love, mama
