For Jaxon

Dear Jaxon,

I can't believe that you are already 1 year old. It has gone by so fast. It seems like we just brought you home from the hospital yesterday. Your daddy and I love you so much. You are so happy and full of life every single day. I am so lucky that I get to be your mom and be with you for eternity.

I knew while I was carrying you that you were going to be such a mellow child. You didn't move as much as Levi and you were generally calm. Levi was all over the place which explains his energy today. Usually everyday you are so happy just chillin' eating cheerios and drinking juice. You put up with pretty much anything we drag you to. You don't complain much unless Levi has pushed you down or taken your toys. You wake up with a smile and go to sleep with that same smile.

Jaxon, you are an amazing child. You have made our lives so much richer. I know you will grow up to do something incredible with your life. You will be able to show your talents to everyone someday. You will succeed in all of your endeavors. Your daddy and I will be there for you always, no matter what. Your Heavenly Father loves you and will always be there to guide you as well.

Some of your favorite things at 1 year:
You love to crinkle your nose and snort. It's so stinkin' cute.
You started walking at 10 months and at 12 months you are walking pretty fast.
You love sippy cups. Levi hates it when you steal his cup so we bought you your own.
You sleep through the night. You've been doing that for a while. We put you to sleep around 6:30-7:00 and you wake up at 6:30 the next morning.
We still aren't sure what your first clear word is. You've kind of said banana, dada, momma. I'm thinking momma is the first word for sure.
You recently discovered the sand box. That is your new favorite thing outside. It's going to be a dirty summer!
You have 6 teeth. 4 on top and 2 on bottom.

We love you!

Love,
Mom and Dad
