First Birthday

Ethan,

A few weeks ago we celebrated your first birthday.  Your grandmother from New York and Aunt E, from New York both came down to help you celebrate.  It seems like such an incredible milestone.  I have survived, you have survived and your mother has survived.  I can't believe how fast the time has gone.  I look at your pictures and the video from month's ago and you only have a passing resemblance to your younger self.   You are becoming so independent.  You want to feed yourself, you want to walk instead of crawl, and you stomp your feet or fall down when you don't get what you want.  As I think about it I miss those times when you were completely dependent on us, but I am so much more excited about what the future holds.


Love,
Dad
