One Amazing Boy
A Poem by Uncle Nathan

One amazing boy that is Jackson Mandle...

One of a kind eye's that sparkle with life, and BIG plans...

One day a baby is born, one beautiful experience after another with Jackson...

One so special to all who know him...

One day of life enjoyed 365 times, and before you know it, the boy we all love...

IS ONE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE BEAUTIFUL BOY! And two awesome parents!

All our love for the best first birthday ever!
Uncle Nathan and Aunt Missy

Congratulations! The first birthday celebration is as much for the parents reaching a milestone as for the honoree. You did it!

Today's my birthday, too. Happy Birthday to a fellow Aquarian!

Happy, happy birthday! He's so adorable. Watching a child's first year of life is so incredible. I spent it in complete awe when I had a child.

These pictures brought tears to my eyes, Jack. From those first few minutes one year ago watching you focus on me from the exam table, to seeing you throw food around from your high chair...it has been an incredible first year. And although I look forward to the day when you put all your food where it belongs, I by no means want to wish away your youth. This first year has already gone by so fast!

Happy Birthday my young son. And thank you for coming into our lives!
