Almost One!

Well, my baby is almost one year old! Where has the time gone? I swear I just had him. It really doesn't seem that long ago that I was up 17 times a night peeing and wondering when the sharp pain in my toosh would go away, how much longer did I have to be pregnant, really?? But now he has survived his first year. Even though the kid has been sick more than he has been well in his blessed little life, he is quite possibly the cutest, sweetest, most mellow little fellow in the world. He is my little buddy. The other kids are in school all day, so it is just me and Cole. If I could just figure out how to keep him from getting into every single cupboard, drawer, plant or garbage can we have, I would probbably swear a lot less!

I think because he is our last baby, I am trying to savor every last morsel of him. I was looking at pictures last night of the other two rugrats, and I know it is cliche but it seems only like yesterday they were doing these same things. My how time flies. So, it is my new resolution to enjoy my children for who and what they are. Start induldging in the moment a little more. Soon, they won't want to talk to me EVERY single minute, they won't want my opinion or my advice. So, hopefully I will be able to enjoy all of them, before they are grown and gone! Peace out! Emily
