THE BEST VALENTINE's DAY GIFT EVER...
Can't believe my baby boy is one today! Seriously, I have heard it said ten thousand times..."They grow up quick", but it never sinks in until days like this come around! At first, their little lives are measured in days...remember when he was 6 days old? it seemed like he was getting bigger with every glance. Then he was ONE month! WOW--he was already looking like a new baby...not like the little pale raisin that flew into the world that evening. Then came the marking of each month, with new milestones and priceless moments of joy!
Then I found myself saying, (when people would ask his age), he's ALMOST one! People are usually surprised because they think he is about 8-9 months old!!! My little tiny boy! Last night, when I looked at him sleeping in his crib, almost in a moment, he looked like a little boy---not like the chunky baby he was, but like a real little man. MY little man.
Hard to believe all of the things we have gone through this year. I was looking at the picture of us the night he was born...our first picture as a family of four. I thought about the last 12 months and if I had known then the craziness, the scary moments and rough days that were ahead, I would never have chosen to walk through them. But God is so FAITHFUL. He has carried us through---
...through Beckett's reaction to the pertussis vaccine, being hospitalized for 4 days, through my battle with postpartum thryroidits, my countless trips to the ER, the lab, and doctors offices...even a few nights in the hospital...through heart monitors, ear infections, antibiotics, falls down the stairs, skull fractures, xrays, fever, more visits to the ER, through my emergency gallbladder removal and the everyday moments of being a mom...God is FAITHFUL!
I have always daydreamed about how my life would turn out, what my kids would look like, and who I would marry. As I sit in this moment, I realize that God has planned every beautiful step and I am more than blessed to be who I am. I am more in love with my husband than I ever thought possible...and on this day, 365 days after the birth of our amazing, tiny, sweet, sweet, happy, baby boy,
my cup runeth over...
We celebrated Beckett's birthday in Orlando at Mia and Papi's house. The monkey theme went over well and we had so much fun decorating, preparing and enjoying the festivities!!!
