Today my little Sullivan Gray turns one. Not going to lie, merely typing that strained my throat. That’s a manly way of saying I got choked up. The reason why I love him so much goes beyond him being my son. He’s my little man, my Sully bear, he’s mama’s little prince.

In all honesty, having a second kid wasn’t something we were ‘trying’ to do. It was one of those situations were we just felt God was putting it on our hearts to stop trying to NOT have one...if you know what I mean. But God had something amazing in store and it was this little man. Don’t get me wrong; having a second kid was brutal. It is not as though having a second kid just doubles the work of having one kid. Having a second kid is like 6 times more work. From the lack of sleep to to jealousy from Elouise (our first born) to stress just having two put on Liz (my wife) and my marriage to just having another mouth to feed and booty to change. It’s a lot. But I wouldn’t change it for anything.

This little man, Sullivan Gray, has just gotten better and better each and everyday. I’ll be honest, I was worried in the beginning. His sister was a far cuter infant then he was. Take it easy, take it easy. I'm not saying he wasn't 'perfect' or I didn't 'love him'. We called him our little Benjamin Button baby. But he has grown into such a cute little man with more adventure built in his bones then we know what to do with. Oh and did I mention he fears absolutely NOTHING? Yeah, that’s Sullivan. He keeps us on our toes but he also keeps us filled with joy.

Son, I love you so much! I’m so thankful for you are on the planet and in our lives. You are perfect! I cannot wait to see what you have in store for year 2.

Happy 1st Birthday Sullivan Gray Cannon!
