1 year ago today!

1 year ago today Aiden Joseph came into our life.  And it has been more blessed, more joyful, and more complete having him in our family.  We couldn’t imagine not having him as our son and brother to Cale.  It’s kind of bittersweet for me today as his momma.  My little baby is growing up and it’s way too fast.  Although I absolutely love this stage he is in right now-it’s so much fun, I will someday soon miss the baby stage I have a feeling.  We are almost done nursing too-down to 1 nursing a day and will probably be done by next week.  This too is bittersweet-I am so ready to be done, but also will miss the time we have had just me and him the last year.  Luckily for me right now he is still a cuddly and wants to snuggle with his momma!  I think I will make him snuggle even when he’s 10! 

What is he into at 1 year old-just about everything-from the dogs water bowl, to the refrigerator everytime we open it, to trying to get into the toilet, to wreaking havoc on Cale’s train table!  He is so much fun, so mello and easy going, smiles and laughs often and is just an all around awesome!  He is so adventurous at this age and brave.  He is not afraid of much.  For his birthday today we took him to the Crestwood Aquatic center where they have a kid pool with lots of fun things to play in.  He was all about going through the fountains, splashing in the water, going under some of the water fountains.  Just so willing to try new things.  He loves to be spun around, loves to swing, loves balloons, and loves to do anything.  It’s going to be so interesting to watch him grow and see him explore his world around him more and more.  He still loves to yell talk-loves to say momma, dada and his own version of doggie.  He loves to dance, crawls as fast as someone running and I think that eating may be one of his favorite things to do-he loves everything-meats, cheese, fruits, veggies, breads, anything and he pretty much eats it!

This past weekend we had a small get together for Aiden with a few close friends and family.  It was great getting everyone together to celebrate his birthday.  There will be pictures to come soon!

Aiden-you have no idea how much of a joy you are to our family.  I adore you, am so proud to be called your mom and can’t wait to see what you like in life, what you want to do, what your interests will be and to see the boy and then the man that God develops you into. 

Life is good.  Thank you God for my 3 guys.  This is truly one blessed momma and wife!
