Today John Brady is officially one and a half. It is hard to believe his 1st birthday was already six months ago and soon six more months will fly by and he will be two! I want to write down a few things he is doing and some of his favorites so Drew and I won't forget.

John Brady, when you read this later always know that Dad and I love you and you are our world. We enjoy watching every new accomplishment, new word, your laughter and more. We have watched you grow from a baby to a toddler and you are starting to act like a little boy. It is so bittersweet...snuggling in my arms when you were first born you looked so small...now you look so big in your baby bed. Happy 1/2 birthday! We can't wait to see what all you will be doing at two and what a great young man you grow to be. Love you!
