Happy Birthday Baby Jonas!!

I don't even know where to start. Do you remember how you felt when it was your first child's first birthday? I'm still overwhelmed that God even chose us to be parents! What an amazing opportunity and responsibility to mold this little man into what we hope to be a man after God's own heart. It is no doubt that our lives have changed dramatically this past year. But we have loved every minute of it.

Yes, the real challenges are just beginning and we are feeling it! :-) But, overall Jonas is a sweet spirited, laid back 1 year old. I have noticed the last few weeks he is showing a lot more compassion. He has never been a cuddle bug, so the little hugs he is offering are so so sweet. He is starting to give kisses too! He is not walking yet but seems to get more brave as the days go by with his balance. His one year check up went great! He is a very healthy little boy.

So, my sweet Jonas, I will probably be calling you "baby" less and less. You are amazing and bring so much joy and laughter to daddy and me. We can't imagine our world without you.
