N: My Son is One

Today my son completed his first year of life! I generally have an indifferent feeling towards birthdays, but this one is worth distinguishing. It has been a year full of the wildest ups and downs. The most challenging and also the the most rewarding. I’m very proud of him, and all that he has learned and achieved. It is amazing what a baby learns in that first year. Knowing nothing but the warmth of mommy’s womb and being fed then out of nowhere he is thinking, perceiving, talking, crawling, laughing, crying, and loving. This is his experience, and it is truly amazing.
This picture is our first time in the swing on his first birthday! Yeah baby!
So my son I hope the best for you in the second year of your life, and I pray that I will never be too focused on other things to really experience you. You are precious to me and nothing is more important than you (although some just as important, like your mommy
).
