Happy Birthday Brady!

Dear Brady,
Oh, my little bonus baby. You tease me with your affections (little Daddy's boy) but there is something so special there, I just know it. When you look at me and smile, I melt.
Your eyes are full of mischief but you are a wonderful boy. You like to high-five, but you also love to give kisses out of the clear blue, complete with a loud "mmmmmWAH" for extra emphasis.
You are trying so hard to be a good big brother and you work so hard to be gentle with Brett. We can tell you love him, you're just not always sure what to do with him! But you like to bring him his bottle and you like to pat his head.

You love Aaron. You two laugh and talk at night. You are gravely concerned whenever he cries. You don't like to be the first one out of bed in the morning, so often you wake him up.

But you love your sister the most. She can do no wrong in your eyes. Is she speaks, it's funny. If she moves, you follow.

And your Daddy. Is he a real being or a god to you?
You are so creative. You adore books. You like to dance so much that I call you Twinkle Toes. Although, you think I'm saying "tickle toes" and you stop what you're doing to tickle your own feet whenever I say it.
But, you are also amazingly athletic. You can throw and kick like nobody's business.

This year you have come so far. This coming year is going to bring so many more changes as you transition from baby to big boy. We are going to have frustrations but we'll get through them together. Just remember how much we all love you so much. We can't imagine a day without our sweet baby boy.
