This Time Last Year

30 December 2012


Remember this!? This time last year I was full on pregnant and tried to cleverly disguise my bump as a Santa belly. Oh, what a difference a year makes.

 

Then there was NYE. The day before the year that completely turned our lives upside down. I looked cute and happy, but I was  screaming for a back rub or even a stiff drink by the end of the night! We were celebrating a friends nuptials and wide awake well into 2012. Three short weeks later, lil B arrived, which is all the time I have to prepare for his big ONE! My mom and sister Tina will be here to help out. Let the party planning begin!

Right now I am listening to Darren tickle Bradyn. I adore B's laugh and mutant hairs that are beginning to show on his head. Strawberry blonde no less. He's going to a be a little heart breaker.
B is now into the destroy anything in sight phase. What you put down he picks up and throws across the room.  If there's a drawer or door within his reach, he's opening it and tossing out anything he can grasp in those death grips.  Sometimes it's my mouth, nose and ears. He gives us several tight squeezes/hugs followed by a drooly kiss right in the eyeballs. My lil Houdini is quite the escape artist too and rarely sits still through a diaper change and disappears in the blink of an eye. He's getting to be so fast on his feet! He started walking on my brother's birthday, so we know he has great timing.  Poor kid has gotten four teeth in the last month though, followed by ear tubes.  Hopefully the surgery was curative for his long-lasting infection. We're not entirely sure at this point. He will go in for his 12 month well check and follow-up this week and then we'll see. Fingers crossed.
