Tristan Turns 1!

Ohhhh T, you are ONE and I can't hardly believe it.  My eyes well up with tears just writing this entry.
You are such a blessing to us all!  It amazes me how you really seem to be the glue that pulls us all together.  Before you were born I knew someone was missing from our family and we all loved each other but our family did not feel whole.  As soon as you were born I knew it was you that we were missing.  You pull us all together.  Brody and Jett both LOVE you more than I even imagined they would.  Even your Dad, who doesn't love babies has enjoyed your babyhood.  You are almost always smiling, and have the cutest little scrunched nose, bashful smile.

We celebrated your birthday early in Florida this year so we could all be together.  Your brothers helped you blow out your candle and you ate your vegan cupcake.  You are still allergic to dairy, eggs and rice.

The night before you actual birthday turned out to be exactly what I wanted it to be.  We traveled home that night and although that seems odd to be so perfect it gave me the opportunity to snuggle you.  If we were home I would have likely held you a little longer but placed you in your crib for the night only to have you awaken to being one year old.  Since we were traveling late you slept in my arms on the plane for almost 2 hours.  I stared at your fat cheeks, your cute little nose and your long eyelashes that surround the most sparkly eyes.  Once we landed you were happy but clung to me a bit confused.  We got our stuff and you were so patient for it being 11pm.  We made it to Nana and Clarks house where I gave you another bottle and held you until you fell asleep again.  It was so wonderful to have so much time just you and I in the last few hours you were a "baby."  Instead of looking back I am looking forward and I just can't wait to see your little personality come alive.
