Sawyer Nears 1

My sweet baby boy is turning 1 in 9 short days!

I am having fun planning his vintage milk and cookies party. But, I'm also feeling a little sad about my baby turning 1.

Last night we heard him crying in his bed around 10 and I jumped at the chance to bring him into our room for some Mommy & Daddy snuggles. He has a terrible cold so he needs the extra love. And we just watched him lay on me. I am in love with his perfect little feet, his big starfish hands, that round little belly, his full head of blonde hair, his ginormous smile, those top teeth peeking through, his baby breath, open mouth kisses, and every single ounce of him. Kris and I are smitten with this little guy. His personality is THE SWEETEST you ever did know. His smile lights up a room. And, he's turning 1.

While I'm so thankful for a healthy first year, it means my baby is getting bigger. Of course there is always excitement over that too. There are some fun things to look forward to as he gets a bit bigger and more equipped to do things with his brother and sister. I'm also excited to see what kind of toddler he'll be. Will he go crazy in his 2's and shock us all? Will he still be as happy and relaxed as he his now? His looks have already changed so much, will they keep changing? So, it's definitely bittersweet and I relish in EACH moment with him in what's left of his baby days.



In even crazier news, he's taking steps now! His brother and sister will walk him all over the house. It's like a little O kid train. Sometimes they go fast and Sawyer tries to keep up and it's too funny. But, he's walking. Not full blown but he'll be there soon I imagine.

On a different note, Hayden made this 'note' as he called it for Dad this morning. It was too cute not to share. Boys and their Daddy's. I adore that Hayden loves his Daddy SO much! I don't take them having a father for granted one bit! I know what me and my brother missed and I feel blessed that they have theirs.
