Happy 1st Birthday Keenan

Happy Birthday to our dear Keenan
Grandma, Nana, and Opah here
The Hackney's joining the celebration
To celebrate your one year

As your first one comes upon us
With our love and over joy
All the changes to your life
From Nam baby to ALL U.S. Boy

The reflux, projectile vomiting
Medication calming it some
Aspirating, milk allergy, gagging
Look how far you've come.

Unable to roll or sit
To the fastest crawler to be
Now standing and taking steps a many
From one to now thirty three.

Gooing, gawing, loud yelling
Your da's becoming daddies
While your Mmm's are coming out a bit
As you work on your Mommies

Curiosity, smiling, and laughing
Your paths of destruction every day
No's not seeming to mean much
As you continue along your way

Tolerating Sophia's hugs and kisses
And her abuse here and there
Still you look at her with smiles
Seeming to know she'll get her share

The sleepless nights and hard feedings
The diarrhea and constipation
We've done it all together
With the tears and jubilation

The First year you've overcome
Telling a lot about your fight.
Your family always here with love
Every hour of the day and night.
