Happy 1st Birthday Jude

Dear Jude,
Today you turn 1 year old. You have done so much in just one year. You are walking around furniture, eating with a spoon, learning to drink out of a sippy cup but truly wanting your bottle, pulling all of the baby wipes out of the container and pretending to blow your nose in each one, snuggling with your blanket and any pillows you can get your sticky hands on, crawling in laundry baskets and throwing the clothes out one item at a time, giving kisses, and laughing contagiously when we tickle you. You have taught us so much about patience, priorities, and happiness and your dad and I can not imagine our lives without you. It seems cliche, but the time does go so fast. It feels like yesterday we were anxiously driving to the hospital not knowing what to expect or what an amazing ride were in for when you arrived.
We love you,
XOXO
Mom and Dad

Such a sweet note to baby Jude:-) Seriously can't believe he is 1 year old today. Just think how much things have changed over the past year....but definitely in a great way. You are lucky to have such a perfect, adorable little guy. We can't wait to get together with you again. Love you.
