Happy Birthday to My Sweet Little Boog!

I can't believe it's already been a year. Time goes so fast! We are so lucky to have our little Summit! He has been such a blessing in our lives. I thought I'd share a few reason's why I'm grateful for him.

1. His smile lights up my day.
2. He likes to make me laugh. He knows what to do to make me laugh and he does it with a straight face which is even funnier.
3. He's so smart...he can say eight words now.
4. He trusts me.
5. His cheeks are softer than velvet and so incredibly kissable.
6. He loves to snuggle me.
7. He gives great kisses.
8. He is obsessed with toilet paper and wipes...can't find a toy much cheaper than that.
9. He's a great shopping companion.
10. He says "HI" to everyone we pass in grocery store.

This is the first moment we met and the bond was so strong already. I am so grateful that I get to spend everyday with him. Our bond has grown so much in the last year. It's incredible how a parent can love their children. I'm so blessed to have my amazing boys!


On the way home from the hospital, as tears streamed down my face, I asked Andrew, "How can they send me home with this baby? I don't know what I'm doing. I can't be a Mom." I couldn't imagine how I was going to do it and now I can't imagine how it could be any other way. My life is amazing.
