Happy first birthday, my dear, dear Solo.
Last night I turned to Chinua and said, "We survived a year of Solo." That is your personality my love. Your little force has lighted up our whole world. We don't know what we did without you with us, yelling in all of our faces and giving us those forceful kisses of yours.
Sometimes when I look at you I think my heart will bust wide open. That day, a year ago, you made all of our hearts a little wider. We love you.

What a perfect title for that photo! Happy birthday celebration to you all.
I cannot believe it is a year, since I waited with baited breath to hear of his birth! Happy Birthday Solo!
What a fierce looking child! He's such a boy! Happy Birthday dear Solo. I hope to meet you soon. Grandma sends you hugs and kisses.
Happy, Happy Birthday Solo. Love the photo and what personality we can gather from the photos we've seen.. Seems like a boy who lives whole heartedly.
He's so big! I've been getting all nostalgic starting school this year, remembering being pregnant at this time last year. Elisabeth is still tiny. Isn't it weird having two kids elementary school age?
Really, it's been a year? How the time goes by. Love the picture- looks like he can hold his own! Congratulations to your whole family on a year with baby Solo :)
Look at the fire in his eyes! Is he the exclamation point at the end of your family?
That is an adorable picture! I laughed out loud to myself.
Happy birthday to your little boy!
Wow, a year! Blessings, little one!
