Eli is 1!

It took 15 minutes of pushing to bring you into this world,
and the past year seems to have gone by just as quickly.

You're smaller than your older brother -both relatively and
literally- but you're a scrapper. You use those vocal cords
when necessary, and sometimes when not: You love to spice
up family meal times with random yelling.

You make your parents laugh and their hearts hurt with
fullness and gratitude. Your brother adores you and
wants to involve you in everything, even the daredevil stunts
you probably should wait on 'til you can at least, you know, walk.

Here's to a year, sweet baby boy.
We love you!
