Happy Birthday, sweet little Peanut!! We have loved being your parents this year, and we are so excited to get to watch you learn and grow. You have the sweetest, funniest personality. You're not much of a snuggler (unless you're completely asleep...), but you have a great sense of humor. You're a really great walker, which keeps me on my toes. You "talk" all. the. time. When you wake up, it's like you have all these words saved up from while you were sleeping. You're very social, and you love it when you get time with your friends. You're so like your dad. ;-)

We love you sooo much! And we're thankful that God picked us to be your parents.

By this point, Abe was movin' and shakin' and not wanting to stay in the basket at all. Occasionally he needed a prop to help maintain his, um, focus. ;-)

This was a crazy month—and frankly, the beginning of what has been a crazy season in our lives. We moved Rob to live with my parents and search for a job. Then Abe and I headed home to pack up our lives to join Rob in Ohio a few weeks later. During that time, we evacuated to Rob's parents' house because of the wildfires in Colorado Springs. Easily the most terrifying thing I've ever lived through—worse than labor. We were lucky to not even have smoke damage, and we were so thankful.

Abe doesn't seem any worse for the wear, does he? ;-) He had some tough nights of sleep (or rather, not sleeping), but even then he was all smiles.

This is so much fun for me! Look at his hair starting to come in. And what a ham!! He has always been a silly-billy-boy. Did you catch the drool in the corner of his mouth on that last one? Once he started drooling, he never stopped—even now, 6 teeth later.
