Jonathan, You recently had your first birthday! Daddy can't believe how fast this year has gone by. It really makes Daddy think that he has to stop and take some time to just live in the moment and not worry so much about things beyond his control. You're already a year old and Daddy can't even think of where the time went. In a few short days your big brother will be two, and before you know it the two of you will be heading off to school! So, we started to celebrate your birthday as soon as you got up. We gave you a birthday present, and Benjamin got one too so he wouldn't feel left out. Benjamin ripped open his as fast as he could and couldn't stop saying how "cool" he thought the new Cars bed set was. Jonathan, you opened up a school bus toy that Benjamin soon wanted to take over as well. Sharing is caring.
Grandma was going to make a cake for you for later on for your first birthday celebration, but her oven didn't work. Daddy took over though and was able to make a nice chocolate cake for you! Making a cake isn't as hard as it seems though, and this cake was just as good as any other so it worked out just fine in the end. While the cake was cooling off after Daddy took it out of the oven we went out to Target to pick up some last minute things. 
Once we came home it was nap time for the babies and shortly after Uncle Brian and Auntie Amanda came over with Cole to start the celebrating early! Every one else started showing up to see you on your special day and you were able to open some more gifts, and then we had some cake! Grandma picked you up a small cake for yourself and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to you as you tried to grab the lit candle. My crazy little peanut did not like this cake, probably because it was too cold from being in the fridge, so you had some of Daddy's chocolate cake. It was a huge hit with everyone! Just ask anyone who had multiple pieces. It was so good that some couldn't even keep it on their plates! You had some and made a big mess out of it, and it reminded Daddy of Benjamin's first birthday party when he had chocolate cake all over his face. 
Jonathan, you are a year older now. My little guy is getting bigger and might even be bigger than his big brother soon. The good news is we don't have to buy formula anymore because now you can have milk! You have to take the good with the bad, so while you might not be my little tiny baby anymore, we will save some money in the process! In a few days we will be celebrating your birthday again, but this time we will be celebrating Benjamin's as well. Then we will have a big party for the two of you with balloons and Chuggington banners! Benjamin would call it a "Choo choo" party! It's going to be great!
So Daddy guesses it's only a matter of time now before you start walking and running all over the house. You're going to be running side by side with Benjamin and both of you are going to be giving Mommy and Daddy a run for their money. Anything that is not nailed down or held down my something else is in trouble! The future tag team champs will be in full force once you discover you know how to walk Jonathan. You already stand still without any assistance. This was a very fast year. It feels like just yesterday we were discovering you would be joining us, and Daddy had picked your name because of a certain actor that he loves. But, no matter how big you get, or how old you are, you will always be my crazy little peanut! Love Always,
Dad
