Well, it's July and if you can already believe it, it's July 13th! We are almost halfway through this month and with that brings something that I have been partially dreading and yet so excited about. My peanut's 1st birthday!! It's hard to believe that only a year ago I was in the home stretch, counting the days down to his due date when my OB decided that he was getting to big and it was time to discuss induction. Ha ha! That little boy had a mind of his own because I SWEAR, he heard induction and he was like, "I'm outta here..."
And with that, just like with his sister, I went into labor on my own and my precious little bundle was born on July 16th. It seems like a lifetime ago, but it's only been a year and while I'm sad that he's already past the infant stage, I can't help but smile when I think of all the things to come. Before I know it, he'll be like his big sister and running all over the place and talking up a storm and fighting with me to get dressed and take a bath, etc.
My husband and I made a silly realization the other day. We are now officially a family of four. I mean, we've been a family of four since he was born, but for some reason it's a little different when they are in an infant seat or being carried all the time. Now that peanut is wanting to get up and start walking a bit, it seems more real. I can't believe he's almost one! So now as I count down to his first birthday on Friday and his party on Saturday, I can't help but smile and think of how much life has changed and how much he will grow as he reaches this milestone and goes onto the next one. For now, I'll just enjoy the fact that he's still little and that both he and Bella allow me to kiss and cuddle them. Who knows when they will grow out of it and find it embarrassing. I shudder to think!
