One, One, Wonderful One

Welcome to the world little man. Look at how excited your sister is to see you. First photo shoot at 6 weeksWho does not love a sleeping baby.Happy Halloween.Your 1st time to eat cereal- not sure if you like it. Happy Thanksgiving

Merry Christmas- little Santa. I just love how you have this huge smile on your face as you pull Allie's hair and she is trying so hard not to laugh.

I could add hundreds more but I thought this was a cute one to end on- You waving Bye Bye

Well, One year ago today I became a mommy again, but this time to the cutest little guy around. Where did the year go, I swear it was just a few months ago that we brought you home, just a few months ago that I was stressing about you nursing and your jaundice. Just a few months ago that I worried that your sister would never be the same again, that I would never sleep through the night again. A few months since I worried your reflux would kill us both (if not from the pain but from the constant cries after each meal and at bed time), but honestly I really have to think hard to remember all the things that stressed me out so much just one short year ago. This year has seemed to go faster than the last and yet our family just seems so much more complete. We have grown by one little person but have so much more love. I never realized the bond between a mother and her son. It is different than that of a daughter. All of my friends with sons told me about it but I never really realized it till I had you, it is different and so special, just like Allie is Daddy's girl you are my mommies boy and my little Man. Your entrance into this world scared us all, daddy says he is not sure who was more blue you or me but you arrived with a big scream and was healthy as can be. I just knew I was having a boy with you, and I was right. I really think if they had not induced you would have just continued to hang out in there. You just take your time at everything but when you decide to do something you, you do it with everything you have. You have changed my life so much and just make every day a little brighter. You have such a joy and excitement for life. It is so fun to get to see the world through a boys eyes, you have no fear. You will be sitting on the bed with me and crawl right to the end and then dive head first right off it. Boy are you going to keep me on my toes. You are our little man and we love you and can't wait to see what the future brings you. Lots of love your mama.
