Hi Baby Boy,

It’s hard to believe that it is 2013.  You were born LAST YEAR.  Wow.  Just wow.  It’s so exciting for you to experience all these firsts.  You went to your very first (family friendly) New Years Eve party!  I even made a dessert to bring (yes, you read that right, Mommy baked!)  You were so interested with looking at everyone at the party, you weren’t really interested in sleeping.  You did sleep for a couple hours, but woke back up at around 11pm.  Secretly, I was kind of glad you woke up so we could do the ball drop count down with you.  As the clock struck midnight, and the new year started, our first kiss was no longer just me and Daddy, it was all three of us!   Our first whole year as a family of 3.  I can’t wait to see all the new things that 2013 brings.

To end 2012, and start of 2013 you had more visitors!  Your second-cousin, Natasha, came and visited from California.  We were so glad she got to come and hang out and meet you!   Also your Auntie Alaina brought your friends Ella and Ben to visit, and Mommy’s friend, Doris, also came by.  So many people love you!
