If I am to believe what the calendar tells me, I now have a one year old child. This is incredible! I could swear that just last week I was crying over him while nursing because at 3 weeks old, he was “so big”. (A hefty dose of the crazies, that’s what I had…) I’m having a hard time holding on to the memories of those sweet early moments. I keep telling myself I need to write them down, and then I don’t, and then every day that passes makes them fuzzier. Need. To. Get. On. That.
I didn’t know I would love being a parent so much. It makes me happycrazyfrustratedtired(exhausted)joyful and one day is never the same as the last. I’m constantly learning and changing, just like the little dude. We are good friends, he and I, and I try every day to be a better person because of him.
So, here’s to my son: he’s a heck of a kid – funny, cute, entertaining, (mostly) happy, energetic, and awesome! And so loved by his mama.
Such a beautiful family. Do write a few things down, even snippets. Sometimes I read old blog entries (which make me blush for how poorly I was writing…) and they are almost from a stranger until my heart races and I remember, hear the whispers of their baby voices.
Amanda, you make me weepy every time. What an inspiration you are, and how lucky I am to have you as a friend!
Clearly I’m behind on Google Reader: I can’t believe I missed Tiny’s birthday by this much! So sorry! D:
I *adore* that pic in the headphones – absolutely priceless! Happy belated birthday, Tiny! <3
Thanks Chibi! I swear he has an interest in all things musical already – or maybe that’s just because those are the toys we give him!
Happy birthday to the handsome guy!
Thanks Kat! I cannot believe how fast the time goes. Does it ever slow down?
