Dear David,
Today you turned 1! You have brought us so much joy over the past year (+ 9 months for me - even in my belly you were a great baby :)), and someday we hope you look back at this website and feel all of the love that we felt when we took these hundreds of pictures chronicling your first 12 months of life. Every day, your daddy and I look at you in awe; we can't believe you're our kid; we can't believe how incredibly lucky we are to hang out with you every day; we can't believe how fast you have grown! and we are so happy that we get to be your mommy and daddy for the rest of your whole life :)
In your first year, you got to make mom-mom, pop-pop, nana and grandpa grandparents for the very first time! And you were the first nephew aunt lauren, uncle sean and uncle DJ ever got to hold. Your diaper was the first diaper daddy or I ever changed. Your cries at night were the first cries daddy or I ever soothed with songs or 'going on parades'. Your first steps were the first first steps daddy or I ever witnessed. Your giggle and smile are the only giggle and smile that have ever made us so happy we cried.
At least once a day for the past 365 days, your daddy and I tell each other "I love David SO much". We never knew this is what it would be like having a son. We never knew because there's never been a little boy quite like you ever before. We love you and we want to let you know that you are the best little guy in the whole wide world, and we can't wait to watch what the next 12 months bring.
XOXO,
Mom & Dad
