Tommy is one!!!

Sweet little Thomas is one year old today!!  In many ways it seems like an eternity and yet others, only minutes since the phone rang in the middle of the night alerting Lauren and I that he was on his way.
The day and a half that followed is a mix of pajama parties, train rides to see Graham, Chinese dinner, pancakes with Gigi, visits to Starbucks, and impatient excitement about when Tom would make his debut.  When he finally did he was perfect- a beautiful boy ready to take on the world as Gigi's partner in crime.

Though my time with Thomas was much shorter than with Gigi, he moved at only 8 months old, it was none the less filled with smiles, adventures around New York, and moments that I will forever treasure.  During a recent facetime with Gigi we had a chance to say hello to Tommy and he smiled laughed and showed us the one finger telling us he is one.  The short encounter filled my soul with warmth because somewhere inside that tiny boy I maybe just maybe still exist in his memory. 

I love you Tommy and happy birthday
