I probably say this every year on each of my kids' birthdays...but seriously! How has a year already come and gone before our eyes? How is my little 6# 7oz little tiny newborn baby a year old?
A year.
A year of smiles, laughs, cries, memories and milestones.
A year since we rushed into Labor and Delivery and had you in our arms an hour and a half later... (yeah that really happened). All I could do was apologize to your dad for you being born on his birthday, having to spend what was supposed to be our dinner date in the hospital...he reassured me over and over that you were the best birthday gift he could've asked for, and now I believe him.
You were our little surprise...in more way than one. Although Momma's intuition was right..I just knew you were a baby BOY.
A year of learning all your little noises and wiggles.
A year of adjusting to 3 kids.
A year of knowing our family was complete.
A year of never even remembering how life was before you.
A year.
And now here we are.
20 pounds and 30 inches tall.
Size 4 diapers.
Size 12-18 month clothes.
Crawling, standing and cruising...not walking yet (Momma is holding on to that a little longer)
Sleeping through the night...yes hallelujah after 11+ months of struggling he finally sleeps.
Sayin' some words like "dada" mostly, sometimes "momma", "ball" and his own version of "Sadie". And my personal favorite...if you ask what a doggie says; "wuff wuff!"
Two teeth is all you've got so far despite the drooling, chewing and cranky-ness...way less than your brother and sister had at 1 year!
Eating all the food Momma cooks, but your most favorite thing to do is secretly give the dog your food..
and still my little nursling..1 whole year, yay!
Loves to play with cars and trucks and drive them around.
Love to dribble and throw balls and has recently started practicing shooting in a little basketball hoop...we still have major hopes for your MLB/NBA career!
Meyer David you are silly, sensitive and sweet.
You have an attitude to boot.
You amaze me every single day.
Through all the fussing (and I mean a lot of fussing) I have enjoyed every moment of the last 365 days with you.
You were always meant to be in our lives, the most perfect fit to our family.
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.
Happy 1st birthday my sweet boy!!
Linn--What fun it is to read your blog. Your love for your children just oozes out of each of your posts. What a great mommy you are and what a great family you and Scott have created. I am so pleased that you continue to let me be a part of your life! Hugs--keep lovin' on those babies! Brenda Kennedy
