1st Birthday

whaaaa baaaawaaaaa ooooohh waaaaa (that was me crying). I can't believe that 1 year ago today, the most precious thing in my life was born and changed my life forever. My 7lb 13.5 oz came out sideways , pushed for 4 hours, baby was born. He is the most beautiful thing in the world and has grown so much in the this first year. I am not sad that he is one, I am sad at how fast life just flew by. I just need to stop and smell the roses. He is so fun right now. He can walk, babble, point, laugh, and pretty much mimics whatever Mike and I do.

I remember when we first brought him home and we wrote down everything. We kept track of how long he nursed, which side he nursed from, how many poopy diapers he had, how long he slept, how long between feedings, how many baths, and so on. You could tell we were new parents and we didn't want to screw anything up. I wonder how much different/laid back we will be for the next one? I think we did a pretty darn good job raising him so far. I mean he's not only still alive but he is happy too. He is so so so loved in his big extended family. I just hope he loves his life.

His birthday party went well. I can't believe how many presents he got. It makes me worried about christmas. I guess that is why we got a bigger house. He didn't really enjoy his cake as much as I thought he would. He stuck his finger in it and then didn't like the feeling of it and tried to flick it off. He did enjoy sticking Curious George in and out of it and the fork, but as far as the taste, he liked mama's cupcakes better. So excited to see what next year brings. What changes we will see and if we will be blessed to do it all again.
