your first birthday

Fletcher,

We celebrated your first birthday today! Little boy, you are so much more than we could have ever asked for. You are so joyful, easygoing, and fun! You are learning new things all the time, and seem on the verge of so many firsts. You're getting so close to walking and talking. You do say Mama, Dada and Uh-oh. You think it's hilarious when you drop food or toys on the floor, look at us, and say "uh-oh"! You are getting more adventurous too. Trying to get into your sister's stuff is now a hobby! Mimicking every sound (whine, scream, yell) she makes is another. You're a little attached to your Mama, which I don't mind at all. We cuddle, a lot. Fletcher, we pray, as you continue to grow, that you will find what makes you happy, that your life will be full of joy, and that you continue to learn always.

It was so much fun to celebrate you with some friends and family. We love you so much buddy!

eat

Fletcher,
You are eating more and more, and we love having you at the table with us! You are pretty willing to try most anything, and you like most of it. And boy are you cute in your big boy high chair!

We love you!

Christmas

Fletcher,
We had so much fun celebrating Jesus (and Daddy) with Grandma and Grandpa this Christmas! We ate great food, decorated cookies, played lots, got new Christmas jammies, and opened presents. It was wonderful spending time with family!

Happy first Christmas!

crawling

Fletcher,
You did it! You finally started really crawling. You've been rocking and rolling for awhile now. Rocking back and forth on all fours, rocking back and forth and then launching yourself forward, and then even reaching an arm out. All very impressive, none actual crawling. But you've finally figured out the multi-limb movements necessary to crawl. Once you did it, you turned into a speed crawler within a couple of days! I think chasing your sister around helps. I haven't caught a picture of you in action, but here's a couple of just how cute you are!

We love you!

cookie making

Fletcher,
We decided to celebrate Christmas by making and decorating cookies today. You sat with us and seemed to have fun watching us decorate! As always, you are such a good sport.

We love you!
Mommy and Daddy

santa

Fletcher, 

You got to meet Santa! I'm going to be honest, your sister kinda stole the show with this one. The thing is, she's not a huge fan of seeing Santa. You, on the other hand, seemed to mostly just sit and watch the whole scene play out. I love how you check Santa out trying to figure him out!

You sure are cute, buddy!

We love you.

Mommy and Daddy
