Cheers to the little man who turned his parents into the lucky kind of tired.
New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Happy 1st — the year of milestones gives way to the year of opinions.
Twelve months of being adored — may the next twelve bring the same with extra crayon.
First birthday boy, you've already made more friends than most adults do in a decade.
Happy 1st — keep that laugh, lose the night wakings, and we'll all be fine.
One down, infinite ahead — celebrate the small king of the high chair.

Cheers to discovering your toes, your reflection, and your truly outstanding shriek.
Happy first birthday — the candle is small but the story is already huge.
Twelve months of you and the family hasn't stopped grinning since.
Happy 1st, little boy — may the cake be soft and the memories sharper than the photos.
You arrived not knowing your own name; now you respond to it like a small CEO.
Cheers to the year you cracked the code on crawling, hugs, and grabbing exactly what you shouldn't.
Happy first birthday — the first of many, and easily the squishiest.
One year wiser, one tooth braver — keep going, small champion.
He's one today, and somewhere a future running, a future questions, a future big-kid hug is being scheduled.
Happy 1st — may you keep that wonder long after you stop fitting in the cake photo.
Twelve months and counting — the most popular boy at this very small party.
Cheers to first birthday boy, who has officially completed his orientation period.
If wishes worked the way they did in the movies, Ted would be on the couch by now, holding the remote.
I keep waiting for the slow-motion door swing where he walks back in grinning.
Some friendships earn a place that grief can't fully fill — Ted's chair stays warm anyway.
If love alone could revive him, Ted would already be telling the same old joke.
I'd trade easy days for one more hard one with him in it.
Ted, if you can hear this, the world is duller without you and we'd like you back.
Every wish I make somehow ends with hoping you'll walk through the door.
