One year old and one day

I was putting C in the car this morning to take him to grams and he woke up with the biggest smile. That is always a good way to start your day. B left for Iowa yesterday afternoon and it was very hard for him to say goodbye to C. Actually...C was sleeping and B could not leave without waking him up an holding him tight.
Last night I discovered a few new things about C. First off...he likes to eat pork and tomatoes. I am so pleased that he will eat anything. I was hoping SOOOO badly that he would not be a picky eater like me. Also, I discovered that he loves wrapping tissue paper...he loves it like I love spaghetti and spider man! There were gifts layed out on the floor and he grabbed the paper and starting throwing it in air like it was the best thing he has ever seen! He is my love and I adore him.
I will end with this fine quote that I found -
Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of life.

The birthday....

So today it is official...C is one. I have a lot of memories that I am reflecting on today. He was still asleep when I left for work this morning but I kissed his sweet face and precious cheek and well just had "a moment". Everyone always told me that you never would be totally prepared for a baby and that time flies. I can now say with absolute authority that they were right. I adore that little boy aka my little man. I hope and pray that he will grow up strong and confident and always know that he is dearly loved. Last night while I was laying in bed he was right next to me and he just crawled over and put his face completely on top of my face and he was jiberring something and giving me sugar all at the same time....I believe he told me he loved me too...in his own way...which is even as sacred as saying I love you verbally. I do not deserve to be loved that way...but I am awfully glad that I am.

I was on my way home from work yesterday and I had C in the car. As a side note...we have a DVD player installed in my vehicle and every time he gets in the car he automatically looks up to see the DVD player...in anxious anticipation. Anyway, he was watching a baby einstein video (which he is a big fan of) and I was looking at him in my rear view mirror and it made my heart melt watching him smile, clap, laugh and squeal in delight. Let me say it again...it just made my heart melt. I suppose I need to remember times like that when I find myself getting frustrated b/c he tries to get in to everything. I tell C all the time I should have named him Curious George!! B is leaving tomorrow and we will miss him but I am sure that he will miss C as well. Tomorrow is the official first b-day for C. I remember it like it was yesterday.....I also remember laboring through Oct 1 and throughout the night and being 7cm dilated by the time I got to the hospital. We will stop there...I am starting to remember some scary things that were to follow. Really nothing else is knew besides what I have mentioned above. Until next time.....
Oh by the way feel free to leave me comments!!!
