Happy Birthday Bryce!

Dear Bryce,
  Wow! A year ago at this time we were staring at those big blue eyes for the first time. How has it gone by this fast? I can't even count all of the ways you have changed our life. Every one of them has made us a happier and more complete family, and we are so blessed to have you (okay, except for the sleep, could you work on that one? Thanks).
   To start off, boy are you handsome. You charm everyone. Now that you can wave, it's almost out of control. You spot someone that hasn't noticed you and wave until they wave back, normally accompanied by a trip over to see you and talk about how cute you are. Your smile is contagious, those two bottom teeth peeking out are precious.
   We can already tell you're a smarty. You point at everything and tell us all about it. Your favorite things to say are Dada, Gaga, baa (for ball and bat), and the occasional Mama when it's the middle of the night and you want to be held. We also get lots of no, no, no with a squished Bryce face. Adorable now. Trouble later I'm sure.
  Your ball throwing and catching is quite impressive. I think you could do it all day long. You could win awards for world's fastest crawler. So far we've seen one step, but I think you'll be walking in no time. You love to dance. Every time I take you to music class you sit on your knees and bounce to the beat.
   You really love your brother, and Chris really loves you. As soon as you see him your face lights up. I know you guys are going to be best friends.
   You're an interesting eater. Right now I think you could live off of green peas if I'd let you. You weren't a fan of baby food too long, you insist I give you whatever is on Chris' plate. Some of your favorites at the moment? Watermelon, Kix cereal, rice, Pad Thai, Puffs, and steamed veggies .
   Bryce, we just love you to pieces. I hope you enjoy being in this crazy family. You make each of us so happy every day.
All our love,
Mom and Dad
