Birthday One

525,600 minutes, 
525,000 moments so dear. 
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year? 

In daylights, in sunsets, 
in midnights, in cups of coffee. 
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. 
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? 
How about love? 
How about love? 
Measure in love. Seasons of looooooooooooooove.

I am not sure how Justin and I would measure this last year -  maybe in sleepless nights, bottles drank, dirty diapers changed, ''you gotta come see this,''  jars of formula, cackles, number of times we heard P's nighttime music, nicknames given, spit-ups, pictures taken, or even the number of times we saw Duncan lick Pierce in the mouth.  No matter how we count the past 525,600 minutes, I will say that they are full of love for God's gift to us.  We had no idea how life was truly about to change last October 30th, but I honestly can't remember what life was like before then.  

So here's to my little birthday boy!  I love you, Peanut!
