Oh How ONEderful

Yep, we had a birthday party at our house and I think it's safe to say that all the adults had just as much, if not a lot more, fun as our birthday boy. One of my girlfriends had a bridal shower the same weekend so we shared fathers day with Brody's birthday party and we had a ball. Here's my sweet... Can I still say, baby? He's looking like so much of a toddler to me lately. Acting like one too... which is a whole other post.













































Happy Birthday my big boy. Love you so stinkin much.

And Then He Turned 1

I'm so full of emotions today. We walked into your room bright and early this morning when we heard you rustling around in your crib. We sang to you Happy Birthday, but unfortunately you weren't so thrilled (Dad's not much of a singer) but that's okay... we will try again next year.

 One year ago, Brody, you changed my life forever. Although you came to us by surprise, you were the best decision we never made, and the biggest blessing in our lives. Your dad and I love being your parents. This past year we have grown so much, and I have learned so much about myself. I definitely know that being a mom isn't easy and that it leaves very little free time... but I've never felt so fulfilled than I have since you've graced us with your presence. I'm often tired, sure, but every single day, I wake up and I have a distinct purpose.. and that is to make you feel loved and happy and taken care of. My whole perspective on life has been different since you... forever changed. I realize now what a selfish person I was before. I love the person that I am becoming because of you. I know that the older your get and the more you grow, the more I grow right along with you. I may be many things in this life, but I will always be your mom and I'm so grateful for that. I love you so much little sweetheart. You mean the absolute world to me. Happy 1st birthday. You're such a big boy now.

This is the first time we met <3.
