What a Difference a Year Makes

I was watching Kaleb play today after we dropped off his brother at school and I just can't get over how big my baby has gotten. He is a year old, he is walking, he is talking (Mama, Dada, Baba), he is eating normal food, he takes a bath without a booster seat. I have no idea what is in store for us tomorrow, but today is my nostalgic day. I look at picture of what a sweet charming calm baby he once was to pictures of an energetic, curious, most loving almost-toddler now. I just love my sweet baby boy and I will hold on to him and snuggle with him as long as he will let me because I know it won't last forever. I will cherish this time with him because I know it will just FLY by so very fast. I also know there will be time where I just want to get rid of him (and well if you are a mom you probably know what I'm talking about) but it will be followed with a big hug and a kiss and I will choose to remember those moments. I am already filled with precious memories of this sweet baby. I have no idea how I lived my life without him. I feel so blessed that God has entrusted me with this sweet child. I hope I can raise him right. I want you to know something Kaleb: I love you Snuggle Bug. I want you to know you are a great kid and I'm so proud to be your mother.

Yes, they do grow up and each year will be a new discovery for each of you. I am so glad that you are cherishing each moment...because believe me time does go soooooo very fast.
I love you so much Kaleb!! God has given you such a great mommy & daddy to teach & raise you into a godly man. He has also given a big brother who loves you so much. We are all so blessed to have you in our lives!!!
