HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is Markie's first birthday. Even though it doesn't seem like a full year has past, all of Markie's accomplishments will prove it.

He began his journey as a mobile baby at about five months of age. He was a little steam-roller. He could go anywhere rolling would take him. Now he has moved on to a very advanced sort of army crawl. With his entire body on the ground, he pulls his weight with his arms, leaving a trail of clean floors behind him.

He has mastered the art of fine pinching and self feeding (finger foods). He can even drink through a sippy cup.

Markie, we are so happy that you are here with us. Your first year has left us all with a feeling of love and happiness. Who knows what joy you will bring in years to come. We can't wait to find out.

We love you.
