We are full of LOVE today

What's better than a beautiful night at the park with your family? Last night was so nice that we decided to throw Drake's bike into the car along with my camera and head to a nearby park. Drake enjoyed running around, climbing on the jungle gym, playing with kids, riding his bike...and licking trees? That's right licking trees!! He apparently likes to lick things these days. Carpets, faces, trees, walls....I guess he'll grow out of it, right? Anyways that has really nothing to do with this post. While we were walking Drake around the park I got to thinking about all the things that we love and want to remember about Drake right now as a 1 year old. So since I'm feeling a little lovey dovey this Sunday afternoon I Thought I'd write down all the things that we Love about Drake.

To Drake:

-We LOVE that you dance every time you hear music
-We LOVE that you gives us kisses and hugs whenever we ask
-We LOVE how you think it's funny when daddy kisses mom
-We LOVE how you sleep in the most uncomfortable random positions such as legs threw the crib bars or up in the air
-We LOVE that you like to be around other kids and that you like to share with them
