His party is tomorrow -- I can't wait to see the crazy that is going down for that. I  think this year he finally gets that it's a day all about him! This is how this morning went down. 7:20am - we are awake - Andrew is at work - so I am solo with Olive and Jaxin. 7:48am - the task of breakfast is still attempted. 7:56am - his dad calls - to sing him Happy Birthday - Jaxin cannot focus because they are not on face-time. 8:00am - face-time with his Dad and Megan -- singing Happy Birthday So far a success......

Dear Olive, We are on the eve of your first birthday. I am in shock in regards to how fast this year has gone by. I have watched you grow, heard your cries and laughs. I have witnessed your rolling over, crawling, walking and new words. I have gotten to experience so many milestones and create so many memories in this past year. I am so grateful for each and every second that I have had with you. I am so beyond proud of who you are today and the girl you will become and the woman you will one day be. You are strong little lady. Full of so much love and happiness. It makes me feel so amazing that you have managed to touch so many lives with the beaming smile you love to share. I am so blessed to be able to call you mine. To be able to say that you are my daughter . Your big brother is always watching over you and with you every step of the way. I love that you smile when you see his picture on my phone, it makes me feel like the two of you are having a moment together. I love that...
