I am not sure how this has happened, but today is your first birthday! Where did the time go?! It truly seems like just yesterday that we were at the hospital waiting on you to get here so we could love all over you...and now here you are a ONE year old! I am not going to tell you that I am sad that you're bigger...because I am not. I am sad that time seems to move so fast because I don't feel that I get to enjoy each stage with you as long as I would like. I love the stage you are in now...and I think that every time I sit down to write to you. You truly get more and more fun each and every day...and at this stage you are sweeter than you've ever been. You have learned how to give the best kisses! You open your mouth very wide and come in and wrap it around mommy and daddy's mouths. After you give a kiss, you smile really big because you know you did something sweet! I think that is my favorite part...seeing how happy you get knowing you made us happy:) It is these moments that I get a glimpse into your precious little mind and heart and I am so proud of the little boy you already are! You are not walking yet, but you could if you wanted to. You hold onto everything and walk around using anything you can find (including the bar stools that you push around). You have learned how to get off the couch by diving head first into the floor. Mommy used to try and catch you and ease you down until I realized that you seem to enjoy the rougher route! You have 6 teeth now...4 on top and 2 on bottom. You will eat pretty much anything, but you hate sweets. In the past week you have spit out a homemade chocolate chip cookie piece, as well as a Krispy Kreme doughnut! One day you will probably think that was pretty stupid to spit out such yumminess! (Yes-that is a made up Mommy word!) I think your favorite foods are blueberries and grilled cheese sandwiches. You can eat an entire grilled cheese and still have room for goldfish and fruit! You are still attached to your lovey that we call "puppy". You go to sleep with puppy and wake up with him in your hand. I bought a backup puppy a couple of weeks ago just in case your puppy goes missing...which we will hope doesn't happen! You still love the outdoors and we still meet Mrs. Laura and Ashley at the Riverwalk a lot which you always enjoy. We got you a baby pool that you love to splash in. You love to throw your toys out and then try to reach them. I always get nervous that you're going to tip out and knock your head open on the concrete, but you always seem to keep your balance. We went to the zoo this past week with Lindsay, Maggie and Blaine and you were a little angel. You did not cry one time-although you almost did on the choo-choo train. Daddy still calls you "squatch" and Mommy still calls you "angel pie" and "budders" the most. We both call you "Will bug" and this seems to be the name that will stick! I am so sorry that your parents picked such crazy nicknames for you, but one thing is for sure, we love the stew out of you! I really cannot thank you enough for the joy that you have brought into our lives. There is no way to thank God enough for giving you to us, and we cherish every moment with you. I love you Will bug...and so does Daddy:) Happy First Birthday! Your birth day is truly a time of celebration for us!!!
