happy birthday
on monday, my baby boy turned one… i still can’t believe that he’s not an infant anymore, and as most parents would agree – the past 12-months have just flown by… i used to laugh when people would say, “it goes by quick”, but now i totally understand because it’s true! wow! we didn’t have a big party or invite a ton of people to the house – i made him a cake and we sang ‘happy birthday’ (and then he proceeded to stick his finger in the flame and cried!)… we had been in pittsburgh for the weekend and had gotten back late sunday night, so monday was all about him… we went to our favorite diner for breakfast and then went to lowe’s to buy paint for the kitchen and a fire pit for the back patio… exciting times!
so what have i learned in the last year? a lot, and i continue to learn something new everyday… becoming a mother was the best thing that’s ever happened to me (next to marrying eric of course)… after he was born i remember saying, “i didn’t know it would be this hard” and now – there are more days that are easy, but there are still challenging ones to keep us on our toes… deck is really starting to show his personality – he’s funny and loves to laugh, and is curious about everything… he loves to follow the cats, look out windows, and push his little corn-popper around… i suspect he’s going to let go and keep walking any day now, so then we’ll really be in trouble…
they say you really don’t know what love is until you have a child… the times when he’s in my lap and looking up at me is the best feeling in the world… even though i tell him “i love you” a million times – it’s still not enough in my book… he has brought such pure joy and happiness to our lives, and i can’t think of my life w/out him… i love you, deckard james! xo
