"The poorest, the weakest, the simplest child, is born for immortality. This value outweighs the entire material universe, no matter how small a mark this child makes on it. The tiniest infant owns a deathless intellect, and is as immortal as the Father of spirits. No one can tell what this child will become."

~ A Prebyterian Pastor who died in 1873


"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

~ (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

Happy Birthday to Our Son




Happy Birthday big boy! You are walking and babbling. Your favorite things are books, your danger cart and the word "hat". I would have to say the thing you truely love the most is long walks in your danger cart, you could ride in that thing forever. Your comforts are your lovies, passy, and a certain blanket. And of course your sleep sheep.
You go to the doctor tomorrow so I do not have your stats yet but I will be sure to post them when I do. You also start your very first day of daycare tomorrow, we are so excited for you to make new friends.
Your first birthday party was held Sunday at your Grandmother and Papa's house. It was a circus theme and everyone came. You were very sleepy before the party and we were concerned you would be cranky. Once everyone arrived you were perfect! You played, posed for pictures, recieved tons of "sugar" and played some more.
When it came time to eat your cake, your hands went strait out as far from the cake as you could get them, in an attempt to keep them clean. You leaned in and took the most careful bite you could, you touched the cake once but only with one finger. 4 or 5 bites followed, when you were finished you had been so careful that we only had to clean one finger and your mouth. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
I hope you find your next year to be full of adventure, friends, family, and excitment. Most of all I hope your next year is twice as long as your first. Happy Birthday big boy, we love you!
*Update: you are 20lbs and 31 inches long.
