Three. Six. Five.

Has it really been a year already? It seems like only yesterday that I was telling your sister to pack a bag just in case she had to spend the night and Grammy and Pawpaw's. It seems like only yesterday that we anxiously waited for you to make your debut.

Of course you couldn't do things the easy way, oh no. You wouldn't be our kid if things were done that way. Six days in the NICU has netted you the honor of being grounded until the day you leave home. But dad's a softy, so that punishment will probably be lifted before long. How about we just keep you away from the hookers and booze instead?

You've completed our family for a year now. Despite the fact that your sister is 2000 miles away from us, and things never seem to go our way, you make life for all of us better.



Happy Birthday Butters.

All my love.

-the monkey who cares for you.

Man, your dad is a hard-ass.

Hope you can still find a way to have a happy 1st birthday!
