Charlie turned one on Saturday. I made a big breakfast for my boys, and then we spent the rest of the day as a family and hung out around the house getting ready for the birthday party today. I tried to get pictures of Charlie in his "Birthday Boy" shirt, but he wasn't in a picture taking mood. The shots below are the best I could manage.
This month, like all the rest, has been filled with changes for our little man. He has taken his first steps and can stand without support for up to a minute. Charlie is becoming more and more vocal. We haven't heard the first official word yet, but he baby talks to himself and us non-stop. The other day, he picked up a book and started babbling and turning the pages as if he was reading it out loud. He is also figuring out all of his toys. Nick and I don't have to show him how something works. It is so neat watching him concentrate and problem solve until he figures out how to do something.
As Charlie's birthday approached, I could not help thinking back on this time last year...Nick and I counting the days until my due date...daydreaming about what Charlie would look like...going into labor...seeing my son for the first time. It seems so surreal now. I knew that our lives would change once Charlie was born, but I never imagined just how much. He has brought so much love, purpose, and peace into our lives. Nick and I are forever grateful for our son, and we could not love him more. Happy 1st Birthday, Baby!!!
