It is absolutely amazing that an entire year has gone by. Joe and I had the labor countdown starting last night at 9:30, until 2:14 when James was officially born. He has been in a very silly mood today. He really enjoyed his presents and his birthday cake (applesauce spelt--vegan, major allergen free, and quite delicious!). He kept going Mmmmmmmm! Mmmmmmmm! as he was eating it. He has developed quite a sense of humor, and seems to laugh all the time. He has such a joyful spirit! He is learning a great many things, loves to read, can stand for a second or two independently, sings (especially in church), and communicates quite well for a person who doesn't use words yet. We are indescribably proud. This has been one of the best years of our lives. Happy first birthday James Augustine! We are so fortunate to have you in our lives!

That certainly is the look of a happy and healthy 1 year old! Many congrats! Love always!
Happy Birthday James!
Happy birthday James! I have your presents waiting here in Lexington for your visit soon!
Since we were on the road yesterday returning from our visit in Lexington, we were not able to officially say "Happy Birthday" in person. Our call found you asleep, James! What an eventful day for you. My goodness! You are really adept at opening presents. We hope that your innocent anticipation and expectations continue throughout your life. You have been a joy to us all this past year! When we see you at Uncle Justin's wedding in a few weeks, you will have some more gifts to discover. Love, Grammy and Poppy
Joseph, I have your original message "Hi, Mom, I was just calling to tell you that your grandson was born at 2:14 a.m. on today, July 29th. He's pretty small at 5.1 lbs." Etc.
And I will retain it so long as this cell phone holds out!!!!!!!
What was life like without James?
Like a golden cup waiting to be filled to overflowing. You are very
blessed indeed!
I love the "communicates quite well for a person who doesn't use words yet."
James is a happy, healthy one year old and you have every right to be very proud. We're proud too.
He has such an expressive face.
Aunt Betsy and Uncle Mark
