See? I told you he was growing fast!
Emil. Oh, my sweet last baby boy.
How you defy me. I asked you to stay little, and chill out on the full-steam-ahead life you are leading. I say, don’t worry about crawling/walking/climbing- that will all come with time… you say mama I am so ahead of you it’s not even funny.
You climb the dishwasher. And walking? Bah. You are close to running now. You wave hello and attempt to say hello. Heck, you are not afraid to go down the slide all by yourself (though maybe you should be). I say slow down what’s the rush, little man? You say, THOSE guys– I want to do what those guys are doing!
You love nursing but not lying still. You love babies but not being gentle. You love stairs but not slowing down when you reach them. You love all kinds of food, but not sitting in a high chair for too long. You would rather live than watch life pass you by.
You are one going on five.
And you have brought a joy to our lives that baffles my mind. I cannot imagine my life, our family, without you. We love you, Emil. Happy First Birthday.

Happy birthday, Emil!
We have yet to meet you (in person) but we love you so much from afar. You have brought your family so much joy.
Big hug from your buddies in DC,
Nora, Joe and Frankie
Happy Birthday, Emil! Grandma will be seeing you in the next couple of months – before you sign up for football! Love you!
Happy Birthday, Emil!
Happy Birthday Emil! You are such a cutie.
Happy Birthday, Emil! That is the best moustache ever.
Happy Birthday Emil!
Happy #1 Emil! We miss you little elf. If you need advice on being the youngest of three boys, I know somebody who could tell you a thing or two. Hoping to get some prizes to you before Milo turns 5…those teeth look good on you by the way!
hahaha that picture is great!
