In the home stretch for your first birthday, I truly can't believe it. Time moves at an unfair pace sometimes.
Over the past month your love for bouncy balls and grown, you will sit and throw a ball forever with anyone willing to play, if nobody is available you'll throw it and crawl over to it and throw again all around the house.
You definitely know what you want and expect to get it or have a little temper when you can't.
Your face lights up each morning I come to get you, I don't know if you're happy to see me or your yougart drink that I religiously carry in with me.
You sleep great for naps and at night with the occasional upset that will have you up at night crying, we still haven't found what works best for you those evenings. I know you would loved to be rocked all night but we've tried to limit that for your own benefit. One night you ended up sleeping with us for a little bit, I'll never forget the droll rolling down my cheek from your little teething mouth. Though cosleeping is not something we will do much in this house, that little bit you were with us was really special to me.
I won't soon forget all the ups and downs we've had this first year, looking back we've laughed with you and at you more than we've cried. You're brother is really starting to see you as a potential playmate instead of a pest, watching that love grow has been so wonderful and watching you grow from a little bitty baby to a toddler has been amazing! We love you Gabriel!
