Dear Leo,
One year ago today, we were holding our brand new little you in our arms. It is almost impossible to believe that 12 months have passed.
It is equally difficult to remember life before you arrived. You have formed a solid bond and lifelong friendship with your older brother, and especially of late, you have begun to play together and enjoy each others' company. It is incredible to witness.
Tonight, in fact, you joined in on the wrestle-mania with Daddy and Isaac, asserting yourself when Isaac was pinned to the floor, by belly flopping right on top of him. For some reason, you wouldn't attack your father, just your brother. We all were in stitches. Even your target, poor Isaac, thought it was hysterical.
I took the day off work today to be with you on your first birthday. All day you kept asking me, "Where's Izee?" and "Where's Daddy?" It always catches me off-guard when I hear a new phrase from you or when you try to repeat difficult words like, "delicious."
Speaking of delicious, you've inherited my sweet tooth. There was no stopping you from your birthday cakes. We had a party with friends and family on Saturday and you dug right in! Tonight, we celebrated with red velvet cupcakes and you loved it.
I think it's safe to say that you fully enjoyed your first birthday. And, so did we.
We love you to pieces, Sugar Pie. No matter what your age, you'll always be our Baby Squirt.

You have two beautiful boys. And playing together? I wish I could see them interact with each other.
