Happy 1st Birthday Nathan!

Nathan - 

I can't believe it's been a year since you were born! You are by far our most favorite son.

In the past year you have:

• grown 10 inches and gained 15 lbs
• eaten every two hours since birth
• learned to walk (at 10.5 mo)
• learned to wave and say, "Ba-ba"
• learned to make trucks sounds when driving anything
• sucked and chewed on everything - disabling many electronic devices
• cracked the screen to my iPhone (insert tear drop here)
• given your sister a run for her money

You love:

• doing anything outside
• trucks
• motorcycles
• books
• using tools - only real ones will do
• emptying any container, drawer or cupboard
• playing peek-a-boo
• singing "If Your Happy and You Know It"
• any food that is not a cucumber - including fish and tomatos
• pushing your sister
• being held by mom only when she's cooking dinner or if it's the middle of the night 

You don't love:

• having your diaper changed or getting dressed
• any facial wiping
• sharing Mom
• cucumbers
• being covered with a blanket
• being told no

You and your sister have shown your father and I that we have more love than we could have ever imagined. Happy Birthday. 

Love, 

Mom
