Dear David Jr,
It is hard to believe that a year ago from right now you had just finished getting your first bath while your Daddy and I packed up to move to a different room within the hospital. Your birthday was quite the exciting day but it doesn't even seem to compare in the excitement you have brought our family during your first year with us.
Carly loves you to the moon and back (and then some more). She loves to play with you, give you hugs and kisses regularly, and protect you from the world. Everywhere we go she announces your allergies and will ask if you can eat any new food she encounters.
Your Dad and I just look at you in complete awe (especially when we see a newborn) and can't believe how much you have grown during your first 365 days. You have gone from a happy, sleepy baby to a boy who can feed himself, speed crawls, recognizes the sounds of the dishwasher, baby gate, and laundry room door opening, asks to be picked up, and says "dada" as soon as your daddy comes home from work. You no longer seem to be interested in baby food and have actually not consumed even 6 ounces total of pureed food in the past 7 days. Unfortunately we are still working through your food allergies/intolerances, but hope to have more answers for you (and ourselves) on Thursday.
This past year has been a wonderful adventure, and I can't wait to see how you will continue to grow and develop during this next year!
Love,
Mommy
