This past year has been another one filled with so much learning and growth. You've gained 2 inches and 5 lbs in the last year (compared to 5 inches and 8 lbs the previous year), but it has been your vocabulary and your personality that has grown by leaps and bounds! We love teaching you things, having hilarious conversations with you, and watching you learn about the world around you. Sometimes your observations make us laugh and laugh and laugh! You're all done with diapers and soothies, sleep in a big boy bed, sit with us in church, and like to help out with your brothers. So much so in fact that I have caught you several times trying to toilet-train your poor younger brother - pants and diaper at his ankles bawling in the bathroom. You want to do all the things you see Mommy and Daddy doing - whether it be cooking and baking in the kitchen, going to get groceries, play with the tools in Daddy's workshop or figuring out how to use the nail clippers to cut various things that are not nails... Although you are a strong-willed child and often stubborn enough to drive your parents up the wall, we love how you ask us for hugs and kisses and how you love to cuddle. We greatly look forward to what the coming year has to bring for you and all the fun that we will have! Happy birthday Pete!
