One

My darling Button is one! Yesterday was Buttons first birthday, the day I went from having a darling little baby to a toddler... a toddler! :O how did this happen?! I remember his birth story oh so well and yet it seems like he has been a part of my life since forever.

 I can hardly remember, even now, what it was like without my sweet happy boy. What did I do with all that extra time before?! 

My days are now full of chasing little pitter patter-y feet around, a lot of little giggles, smiles, many many messes and diapers, and the occasional wide mouth "kisses" and you know what; I wouldn't trade it for nothing. Well... maybe a nice bath once in a while. Ha. 

The best part? This is just the beginning. I see Buttons strong-willed and kind-hearted personality more and more every time I look at him and it makes me so proud; nervous, but proud. I know God has so much planned for him our family. I thank God every day that he gave me the gift of knowing what it is like to love someone you have never met so unconditionally the way he has loved us even before our creation, to love the process and not just the outcome of a life and each day. We are so blessed. 

I anticipate so many adventures this coming year. So much growth and change as we take on the world of toddler-dom as well as raising two little ones instead of three but for now, I am so thankful we are where we are at this moment. It is tiring but oh so rewarding!
