We made it! I had my doubts, but here we are; my baby boy is one!
Cue all the tears.
I won’t lie, this year was the most difficult of my life. But, it was also the best, by far! We had our challenges, lots of sleepless nights, but SO many joys!
I made a little video highlighting our year. Warning: it’s 13 minutes long.

Funny moments: On his actual birthday, my parents were here, so we had a little celebration with Snickerdoodle Cupcakes from Fluffy Thoughts. After the fun, we let B open a couple presents. Then we were just hanging out, B shuffle-stepped from the ottoman/coffee table to Jimmy on the couch. Jimmy goes “did you see that?!?!” I was filming him so I go: “I’m video taping him so yes.” Once Jimmy informed me I filmed B taking a step, I burst out crying. Like full on sobbing. Clearly I was not ready for my baby to walk and I was definitely not ok with not being fully present at the moment. Looking back, we laugh now. But, I still don’t count that as fully walking. First official steps are yet to come.
Looking forward to: B’s actual first steps. Any day now!
