PLEASE JOIN US IN WISHING BABY KALEAB A HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, BY LEAVING A COMMENT BELOW!!!!
Incredible.
We have known our little sweet Kaleab since he was 2 months and 3 weeks old. And now he is TURNING ONE TODAY!!!!! {birthday party is next saturday....when daddy isn't on call}
Watching Kaleab grow up in pictures those first months were hard in the sense that we SO wanted him HOME with us!. Yet, we are so THANKFUL to God that we have all of those pictures of him ~ Thanks to ALL of you who were kind enough to take him our care packages and shower him with LOVE while you were in ET for your children!!!! The pictures we have are priceless and they helped us feel a part of his life from the beginning!!!!
We may not have had him home from so early on, but we did get to watch him grow up, and we are still praising God for that!!! We are so grateful to have had Kaleab in OUR care the last two months!!!!! AND NOW HE IS HOME!!! FOREVER!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRECIOUS SON!!!!
There is so much that I already LOVE about you, sweet baby! I love how soft your beautiful brown skin is. I love those gorgeous big brown eyes of yours. I love your big loose curly hair ~ that can get so big if I don't put product in it. I love kissing your super soft cheeks. I love your precious little lips and your little chubby hands. I love your cute little button nose. I love your belly laugh that makes me laugh from deep down inside. I love how you look into my eyes with such love. I love how you cuddle and snuggle right into me. I love how you crawl to me quickly for safety when Daddy or Big Brother chase you in fun. I love your little dance moves any time you hear even a few notes of music. I love listening to your sweet babbling sounds. I love hearing you say "Mama" or "Dada" or "Dogin" {for doggie}.
You bless us so incredibly little boy! It is our prayer that God equips us to help you become the great boy and man you were created to be! May we be able to bless you in the way you are already blessing us!!!!
WE LOVE YOU, BABY KALEAB!!!!!

Oh, sweet Kaleab! I can't believe you are ONE today! You will probably not even remember me, but we spent several weeks together in Ethiopia before your mom brought you home. Your mom has pictures of us together and with Ruby(our daughter from ET) and your big brother. I'm so happy you're able to celebrate your birthday at your new home. I have been praying for you for so long and will continue to do so. May God bless you and keep you healthy, happy and safe! Happy Birthday!!

God bless you and your family!

Wow, already a year! Happy birthday, little Kaleab! It has been such a roller coaster ride for your family and friends waiting for you to come home, but what joy now that you are here! We have not yet met you in person, but in pictures you have such a sweet, smiling, peaceful countenance, and I hope that never changes. Blessings to you on your very first birthday, as you celebrate with your mama and dada, and soon with your big brother! Can't wait to meet you sometime soon!
