How is it possible that my baby will be one year old on Thursday? It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was huge and swollen!!! How have I survived an entire year on basically no sleep? Then again, I can hardly remember what life was like before God gave us our precious Jackson. This has been the best year of my life...so full of joy and sweet memories. I am so thankful for our little guy, and I am excited for year number two!!!
Here's what our almost 1 year old is up to these days:
- getting into everything :-)
- crawling super fast
- pulling up on anything he can
- cruising along furniture
- standing alone for a few seconds (no steps yet)
- finally sleeping through the night on a more consistent basis
- eating table food (we pretty much skipped baby food)
- saying hi, bye, mama, daddy, dog, arf arf, duck, bottle, pops, & uh-oh
- having separation anxiety again (we went through this phase once before)
- I am feeling bittersweet about this one...he is almost completely weaned. Part of me feels very free that I don't have to plan my days around his nursing schedule, but I am already missing that special cuddle time with him.
We have a super fun birthday party planned for this weekend, so there will be pictures soon! I have been a horrible picture taker lately, so I'll leave you with the only ones I have from the past 2 weeks (sorry!).
A couple weekends ago we went to China Spring, TX to celebrate Ryan's grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. It was so good to see everyone! We are so thankful to have such wonderful examples in our lives. Happy Anniversary Great Mom and Great Dad!!!
