Thursday our little boy turned ONE! It continues to be surreal that a year passed by already and that we now have a toddler at home!
In the midst of planning a birthday party, praying for good weather, and Jared working insane hours, we really tried to spend every possible minute watching our growing boy go from baby to toddler!! We watched as he became more and more aware of his surroundings, and of how things (his toys, my phone and the remote) work. He has become much more vocal; knows what he wants and is sure to let me know what he doesn't want or like.
Thursday, i woke up with the feeling that everything was going to change. I went to his room expecting this big kid, walking, talking, independent, just ready to be a "big boy". Instead, to my heart's content, my son looked up and smiled and reached up so i could pick him up. He was still my baby,and that made me so glad! We spent the day doing different things: We opened presents and then went to the mall for a treat, played with new toys and then went to Build a Bear for his birthday present!
There was lots to see and lots to do, but i'm glad that the 3 of us were able to spend some time together building a bear, before Jared had to go back to work!
