Happy birthday, Baby Boy!

Tomorrow we break out the cupcakes and sing happy birthday to our little man.  Ezra, we love you so much.  Love your gap-toothed grin, your sparkly blue eyes and the way you rub your eyes just like your Daddy when you're tired.  I can't believe how quickly this year has passed.  And I can't believe how much of a boy you already are... When Eliza turned one, a couple of people gave her dolls.  I thought she was too young for them but she almost immediately started feeding them with pretend baby bottles and acting like a "girl," much to my surprise.  Now I watch you stand on top of chairs, try to jump into the water at Sea World, bite, knock things down and giggle each time you do.  And you seem like such a boy already!  You say duck, dog, ball and "boon" (balloon) now.  You follow your sister around and want to do everything she does.  You practically run everywhere you go.  Today you ran through a splash pad at a 4 year old's birthday party.  You fall down constantly and get right back up.  You spent your first birthday with a bruise on your forehead.  You throw balls and kick.  It's incredible to see how much you've changed in only a year.  I hope you won't be too busy exploring to snuggle with your mama once in a while!  XOXO.

Sweet Ezra! Such a special day for a very special boy! We can't wait to watch you grow more and get to know you better and better! We love you!

This made both Papa & Grammy tear up!
But with happy, proud tears. =) I can't believe Ezra is already a year old. That sweet little guy has such a sweet personality. Not only does he get right back up when he falls down, but he gets up with a smile on his face. Gotta love him. Great job Tatem & Scott and Eliza & Ezra! We are proud of you all and love you more than you know.
