Happy Birthday Ben!

And just like that our baby boy turns ONE! We got to celebrate him all day with family. And on top of that for Jake's side of the family and Patriots win! We have a nice day filled with family time, yummy food, good cake, presents and lots of smiles!

Ben at ONE:

•                  He is nodding his head yes and no and answers your questions that way. 
•                  He waves by and blows kisses!
•                  He still is not a big fan of car rides!
•                  Little man can sleep! He sleeps about twelve hours at night but naps are still a hit or                   miss!
•                  Loves playing with his big brothers. Anything they do he is not far behind.
•                  Eating is still his biggest love. Fruits and cheese are his new favorite and he loves                       his "fish heads"
•                  He loves his Pep and the expression every time he sees him will light up your eyes.

Our birthday shout outs!

And just like that, 365 days and a year of firsts have gone by in a blink of an eye. You’re a blessing beyond means, the final piece of the puzzle and the spitfire to keep us on our toes. Your smile defines your love and I’m so blessed to witness it day in and day out! Happy first birthday Benjamin!

Where do I begin ... you were the unexpected. The unplanned. The "oh my God, another one?!".

A year has gone by since you entered our world and the immeasurable amounts of laughter, smiles and joy you've brought continue to amaze us. You're so smart, so stubborn; my last little boy. Watching you grow has been, and continues to be incredible.

We didn't know it, but you were the final piece we needed to begin our story. A year ago today the first page started with you.

Happy birthday Benjamin; daddy loves you!
