One year ago, everything changed — and the world became infinitely more beautiful because of you. You have filled every single day with wonder, with laughter, and with a joy that words will never quite capture.

Watching you grow has been the greatest gift we have ever known. Here's to you, sweet boy — to your curious eyes, your boundless spirit, and every extraordinary year that lies ahead.

With all our love,
forever and always.
