The Big ONE

Happy Birthday Griffin!
I was so worried that my lack of excitement during my second pregnancy would make you feel less welcome to this family, but you've gotten away with way more than Jack. More snuggles, more naps with Momma, more hugs from a big brother, more chubbers being pinched, more babying (I was so hopeful that Jack wouldn't always be a baby and Steve wouldn't always be gone) and just plain MORE!
You are tricky and handsome and manipulating. You adore your big brother Jack and I adore your gap-py teeth.
Having two children sheds light on this Plan of Happiness. I'll never get tired of seeing the interaction between these two brothers. They share a hug or Jack laughs over Griffy making silly sounds or I'm stifling a giggle over a red-cheeked Jack who doesn't want "chubber hands grabbing his pirates!" I'm happy and this is the plan.

what a stinking cute baby. he's the epitome of cuteness. the perfect amount of chub- the cherubic face- the cutest smile. I can't wait to see you guys again! that's what all those dreams must mean- that we need to spend some quality cousin time together! even if you do have european teeth.

Cute cake! I was hoping you'd posted pix of it! Cutest baby! Can't wait until you just get out here already! I just finished making Katie's Barbie cake! pretty amateur looking, but very satisfying to make! I have never grown out of thinking barbie cakes are cool. Maybe I should have one for my birthday this year!

seriously adorable cake! Matches that perfectly cute little one-year-old! I LOVE the pictures and the post and the truth about how younger ones don't really get cheated out of everything. There really are some perks... :) Happy birthday, Griff!

Everyone's said it, but it's true! Cute cake! (very nice job) and cuter baby! I'll bet he's going to be his own kind of amazing. Watch out Jack! I think he can give you a run for your money! :)

It truly is a great plan!
