Happy Birthday
Hey Oliver !!
It's Gram pa Updyke. Have your Mom or Dad read this to you so you can hear what a great time your Grandma and I had sharing your very first Birthday with you.
Getting to spend time with you, your Mom, and Dad is the highlight of what we do. It being the week of your Birthday is a wonderful bonus.
If there is an advantage to not seeing you as often as we would like ( there isn't one ) it's noticing at a glance just how far and fast you've traveled since the last time we were together. You are wiggling, giggling, waddling, crawling, walking and even sometimes running toward your future at a rate that is truly astonishing! As a Grandparent I'm in awe of both the intensity and the enthusiasm with which you approach life. ( By the way you might try to tame that down a little around Bella ) Your parents have and are providing you with a safe, secure, stimulating and happy environment in which you are so obviously completely at ease that it's hard to imagine you not just continuing to grow and expand to horizons that I'm not sure I can even imagine. You seem to me to be very comfortable with who you are and where you are in your life. Try and continue to stimulate your parents as much as you have so far, because they're up to whatever you throw at them, and who knows who'll learn the most from the adventure you're now a much more active part of.
As a last and late Birthday wish for you, here's hoping that your next year is as happy and as good to you as the first year of your life has been.
