Happy One Year Coop!!

One year ago today, we met you little mister.  You were perfectly pink and perfectly lovely and perfectly ours.

I know I'll never forget the first time we met face to face!  I told your Dadda that you had Owen's nose. Because you did.  The very same newborn nose! And boy did you cry. Didn't those people know that 9:30am was nap time!

One of my favorite moments after having you was this one:

When this favorite little guy of mine...

met our newest favorite little guy...and one amazing kiddo in my life quickly became two!

It was pretty amazing to see the love that was already there. Owen was so sweet and so excited to meet YOU...his new baby brother. Even though he had no idea what it mean, he seemed to understand it meant something great!

Only the love of brothers...I hope you two always remember how important the bond of siblinghood is!

And now just like that...you're a toddler.  Thanks for being ours little man.  We're blessed to get to be your and Owen's parents.  Every day, crazy, quiet, or somewhere in between...God gave us you and allowed us to spend this life we're given being your Mom and Dad.  Wow.

Year 1 was a smashing success. I can't wait to see what the rest of our years together will bring us!

Happy Birthday Coop. We love you more than words will ever say!!
