Happy, Happy Birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE ONE! This past year has been the best of my life. Wanna know why? Because you're in it! And you are positively the most adorable, sweet, funny, and fun-loving baby (now toddler??) I've ever met. You have an incredible ability to melt the hardest of hearts with one of your heavenly smiles. I know I've said this before, but you really do make everyone happier when you're around, and Daddy and I don't stand a chance when you flash that big grin at us. You can get away with anything! Just don't expect that to work forever, because we'll eventually gain the strength to withstand it! ;)

Your favorite things:
-Climbing on couches
-Playing with your "choo-choo"
-Reading books
-Crawling through the doggy-door at Grandma's
-Riding in the wagon with Grandpa
-Grizzly, Topper, Trixie, & Domino
-Fake crying/pouting
-Bath time (as long as it's with Daddy)
-Toodles (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)
-Lights!

Words you understand:
-"Dada"
-"Mama" (first word you said!)

Daddy and I love you so so much! We're so excited for what this next year will bring, and we know you'll keep us smiling and laughing and that even though it doesn't seem possible, our love for you will continue to grow. Happy birthday, Ashton!!
