Caleb, my sweet, sweet boy. You were so tiny and skinny when you were born. And now you have the best, fattest thighs and legs! You are so cute! I love your piercing blue eyes and your head of super blond hair! You are so relaxed and easy-going. We could give you a toy and you would be content to sit and play with it forever. That's why you never felt the need to crawl or move around. You didn't start to crawl until 10 months old! Now you are super-fast, but get where you need to be and are content. That's why the walking won't come for awhile! You are usually so calm and patient. You let your brother Gage push you over and grab your toys. You rarely protest. But when you do, we know it! You scrunch up your eyebrows and growl and shake your arms. We know you are mad, but it is so cute to watch! You love to talk and always have a lot to say! We love you so much! Happy Birthday!
Gage. You are my baby. From the moment you were born, I fell in love with your beautiful eyes and your beautiful eye lashes! We knew right from the start that you were going to be our "busy" boy. And you have proven us correct! You always have to know what's going on and be right in the center of the action. Because of this curiosity, you were the first to crawl, the first stand up and we're sure you will be the first to walk (you are SO close)! You also were the first to give up nursing. Too many things going on and too many things to see - you are easily distracted! But we can always see the gears in your head turning. You are constantly thinking, thinking, thinking. You amaze us with how smart you are. Your problem-solving abilities (for example - figuring out how to get out of the impenetrable fortress that is the living room) will cause grief for us these early years, but will serve you well in your life! We love you so much! Happy Birthday!
