They said time would fly and it sure did! I really truly cannot believe my little guy is now one year old.

We had fun plans to celebrate your birthday with family and friends, but the Quarantine changed things up. Instead, we enjoyed a nice day at home, with lots of balloons and treats, and then had a video call with all of our family to sing happy birthday. You loved the cake so much!



The past year has been such a wild ride. I was so unprepared for how much my life would change, but you upended things in the best of ways and our world is such a wonderful place with you in it.




Some fun milestones from the past year:

Brooks, you are silly, happy, dramatic, loud, fun, wild, independent, cuddly, and oh so lovable. Thank you for being you. You give our life meaning and we love you so!
