Happy Birthday Mya!!!

To say this has been the best year of my life would be the greatest understatement ever said. Daddy’s little girl is growing up FAST! She’s a year old now, ok, her official birthday isn’t until tomorrow, but we celebrated it this past Saturday surrounded by friends and family. In this past year, she’s grown by leaps and bounds and has never ceased to amaze me along the way. Reagan and I watched her crawl, get her first teeth, say her first words, climb up on things, stand on her own, chase after Guinness, wave bye-bye, splash water in the tub, climb the stairs, take her first steps and fill the room with her infectious laugh. I honestly never knew I could ever love someone as much as I love her and it’s such a blessing to watch her grow and take on her own personality. I AM the luckiest man on earth. I’m a big softy too. I well up with tears quite often when I see her doing something new. I know these are the moments I’ll look back on years from now and smile, and laugh, and yeah, I’ll probably even cry too. I put a little video together of her first year and shamefully I couldn’t devote as much time as I wanted to on it, but I’m still very happy with it. Even this was hard for me to create. I couldn’t stop crying as I’m editing it. Looking back at all the footage of her as a newborn and those special little moments that Reagan and I will never forget. We showed this at her party and everyone loved it and I wanted to share it with you. Please enjoy!

    Steve,

    I didn’t know you had a little one too! I started to cry that was really beautiful! I have an 18m old boy and I would love to do that for his 2nd birthday. I have to get together w/ you on that if you do that kind of stuff for families. Hope all is well.

    Steve and Reagan,
    Your daughter is absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video. It was so sweet and heartwarming and brought on an unexpecting tear. After meeting you as a bride and groom and now seeing you as parents, I can see why you were meant to be together. My best wishes to you and your family.
