One Year Old

It's still hard for me to believe that one whole year has gone by since the day my precious little baby boy was born.  I remember a year ago, lying in my hospital bed with fear and anxiety in my heart, trying to imagine what it would be like a year from then, celebrating David's first birthday.  I wanted time to speed up fast.  I wanted to know that my NICU baby would be happy, safe, and healthy.  I wanted him to be free of the pain I knew he was feeling that moment. Little did I know how quickly time would go by!  My baby is a big, healthy, and energetic one-year-old boy, with a happy and enthusiastic personality.  He brings so much light and laughter into our home.  We all love him.  He can make each of us smile and laugh, even when times are hard.

I don't think I have ever met such an easy-going, happy, and content baby as David is.  Really, this boy can react calmly in almost any circumstance, even when getting shots or getting his finger poked.  He just seems to accept unpleasant things and move on, finding joy in the simplest pleasures.  He is an inspiration to me.

I am so grateful to have my son in my life.  He means so much to me.  I hope he always knows how much I love and adore his wonderful personality and his beautiful face.  Love you always, my sweet baby boy.
