I just don’t want to forget anything that you are doing right now. I am so proud of you for everything you can do. You are such a smart little guy! You really make daddy and I laugh EVERY day. You are a goofy boy and we love you for it! You look a lot like your daddy.
Harrison, we can’t wait to see what you will be like when you grow up. I know you will be a great man, just like your dad and grandpas. I hope you remember what we teach you and try and teach others. I hope you get the patience your dad has and ability to be outgoing that I have. You are a great mix of mommy and daddy. We couldn’t ask for a better little guy! Thank you for being so amazing.
I was up until 4 a.m. making this cake–I’m really happy with how it turned out!
Is there something on my face?
There is some on the back of my hand I must eat!
Why is everyone looking at me? You would do this too if you could!
I am 1 today!
Awwww, aren’t we cute?
