Happy Birthday E-man!

It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since our Big Bubba was born. I can still remember very vividly watching The Goonies at midnight on July 26th when the intense labor pains started (only 10 hours before the scheduled c-section was supposed to happen!).

What a wonderful year it's been. Seems like just yesterday we were marvelling at his first smile. Now we laugh at how he waves byebye, how he crawls at very high speeds all through the house--especially towards the front or back door if it's open--how he peeks around the corner to see what you're up to, how he laughs at the most mundane things that his big sister does, how he can't get enough of any food that we put in front of him, how he goes only in reverse on his riding toy. He's starting to get road rage on his walking toy just like his big sis did at this age, too...must run in the family. Happy 1st birthday, E-man!
