  Dear Adrian,

     

     A year ago we were in the hospital waiting for you to arrive. We were so happy to meet you!  I can't believe you are already a year old, but on the other hand I can't believe you haven't been in our lives for years.  You have grown and changed so much, and we have enjoyed every moment of it.  You are such a sweet, loving, curious little boy.  You always want to be with me and your dad, and you follow us everywhere.  Dare I say you are an easy baby? You are easy going and always smiling. So far there are no foods that you dislike; you eat everything we put on your plate. I am so glad that I get to stay home with you.  Have a wonderful year my sweet boy, I love you more than words can say!

Love, Mom

Now that I am all caught up I should be writing more regularly.  Sorry for all the delays.  In case you missed it, I wrote a post yesterday about Adrian's party and the smash cake video is at the end.  Here's to another wonderful year!

Here are his monthly pictures from start to finish:
