John Henry: 18 mos

Dear Tubby:

Today you are 1-1/2 years old! Where has the time gone? Well, a good portion of it we spend chasing after you! There seldom is a dull, quiet moment when you are around. You will forever be our baby; but you have left that stage behind much to Mommy (& Daddy's) dismay. You may be the youngest and (just barely) the littlest; but you show your brother and sisters you won't tolerate being pushed around.You fearlessly climb to new heights, keeping Mommy on her toes...

And continue to amuse us with your many 'expressions'...

We feared if you were a boy, you'd be all 'alone', since your brother was almost 4 years older than you. Silly us to think that! Benji thinks the world of you (as we all do) and makes sure you're taken care of, and protects you as if you were his own!
Although today isn't your 'birthday', it's a milestone moment for us. We hope your day is full of adventure and love! Always remember that you hold a special place in our hearts, just as your brother and sisters do too!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Benji, Carolyn, and Katie
