Happy 1st Birthday to my sweet baby boy!
I can't believe how fast this year has gone by! It seems like just yesterday, I was holding my beautiful baby for the very first time.
We had a WIC appointment this morning and he is now at 23 pounds and 28 inches. When he was born, he weighed 8 lbs. 15 oz. and was 21 inches long. What a difference a year makes! He's now walking/running and talking and eating table foods and working on getting rid of his formula/bottles. Before we know it, he'll be off to kindergarten!

A year ago today, I was at the hospital, having contractions. This was right about the time when I got there, too. We stayed there for about four hours, seeing if my labor was going to progress or not. When it didn't, we started home... tired, a little bit disappointed, a lot anxious. I got a few hours of sleep and then at 5am on January 13th, I woke up with really strong contractions. I let Brandon sleep a while longer, then started getting ready and we headed for the hospital. I was admitted at noon and labored throughout that Sunday and then, finally, at 3:57 am on Monday, January 14, 2008, my beautiful, sweet baby boy came into the world.
It's sad, thinking of how fast this year has gone by, and all of the moments I will never have back. But as my sweet angel baby sleeps in the next room, I am so thankful for all of those moments, and for all the moments to come. My baby is handsome and sweet and smart, more than any mom could want. He's growing and learning every day and I can't wait to see the amazing person that he is becoming. :)
