Happy Birthday John David

Dear John David,
It is so hard to believe that you are already a year old.  Words cannot describe how you have changed our lives over the last year.  You are the most sweet and loving little boy.  Your smile and laugh instantly light up a room and never fail to put a smile on our faces.   You have accomplished so much over this past year and we are so proud of you. You are now a confident walker and walk more than you crawl. You are doing so well eating your finger foods and can feed yourself most of your meals now.  You love going to music class and playing with your best bud Julia.  You love playing with Dad and listen for him to come home each night so you can meet him at the door.  You love going on walks in the forest with Mom and riding in your wagon.  Your favorite toys all involve balls and you think it is so funny to throw them down the stairs.  We are so excited to see what exciting adventures this  next year brings and could not be more pound of everything you have already accomplished.  We love you, Mom and Dad

Saturday Walking in the Forest

We recently purchased a backpack carrier for John David for our upcoming trip to Normandy with Mom and Dad.  We were afraid that the terrain would not be conducive for a stroller.  We knew John David would like it because he loves riding around on our shoulders we just weren't sure how long it would be comfortable for us to carry.  So we took it out for a test ride on Saturday.  Below are a few pictures from our outing in the forest by our house.  He was a little unsure at first as you can see but he warmed up pretty quick.
