One

I can't believe it's already been a year! When did this happen? Somewhere over the course of the last year, I've nurtured and grown quite a little man. Patrick is ONE! I found myself reminiscing today, as my labor ran it's course mostly over the duration of today. Patrick blessed us with an early arrival, but he certainly took his time making his way out into the world waiting til 2:21 am on the coolest date ever, 8/8/08!



He may not be walking just yet, but he's cruising the furniture, and playing with playmobils and laughing when I make the animals make noise. He's swimming in the pool, and not just in a floaty! He's eating some regular food. He's also still nursing. Yes, we've made it a year. A year ago, I wasn't sure how far we'd make it, but we did it!



I look at him today, and find it to be a bittersweet thing. That little precious baby is gone! I remember when I could sit and stare at him for hours and snuggle him to death. Now he just wants to move. He's turning into a toddler! A whole year behind us, just like that! But I also look forward to the future, and all the amazing things that two will bring.

I'm not sure where the time went, but I do know that I've got a great little man with an amazing personality! Here's to one year, little P! Your mama loves you so much!
