Overheard

Jackson: (waving to Jake and Jena out the front window) "Bye, bye, bye! Love you!"

Dominic: "They can't hear you. It's too dark out."

Me to Dominic: "Give me a minute, I'm not feeling very well right now"

Dominic: "Hugs can help!"

Happy Day, One year old!

Sweet, sweet baby Leo! We love you so much! You are such a happy little boy. Since the day you were born, you've been laid back and lovey. You are crawling all over, getting into everything and following your brothers around the house. And you are such a Daddy's boy. As soon as daddy walks through the door, you bouce up and down and your little face lights up. But you do have quite an attachment to mom as well. Often, when I get a sitter for you, I'll have to leave you crying "Moooom!"

Every night there's wrestling with Daddy time and you never get tired of it. You can outlast all your older brothers crawling all over your dad and giggling while he tickles you! You can wave and say bye-bye, da da and ma ma and you will mimic all the silly sounds your brothers make.

You've recently become enamored by cell phones. What baby doesn't love cell phones? But we love watching you put the phone up to your ear and babble away. And you love cars. We find you pushing little objects around while buzzing your lips--remotes, small books, coasters and cars, of course! :)

We have so enjoyed watching you grow up this past year. We love you!
