happy birthday, beautiful boy!

It astounds me how quickly a year goes by! One year ago tonight, I was gazing at this beautiful brand new baby, all tiny and perfectly scrunched. And now, he's sleeping soundly in his crib, a tummy full of green beans and rice, and worn out from a day of play and travel.
In a lot of ways, this first year has been a series of introductions. He's a different boy every day--always changing, always learning. I just try to keep up as his personality emerges more and more. He's a cuddler and a charmer. Sweet thing, my Sam. Happy birthday, baby boy.
