My baby turned 1 on May 21st. We had some camera issues, but I managed to get these pics on my phone. I woke up that morning remembering the horrific pain that I endured a year ago when this little guy was born. Oh man it hurt!! But he made it into this world safe and sound. Then I remember the emotional rollercoaster of his ride to the NICU in an ambulance with tubes all over him. What a wreck I was and I felt so helpless to him. All I wanted to do was take him home where I could hold him, protect him and make him feel safe. He didn't cry, but his wide eyes let me know how scared he was. What a relief when his eyes softened at the sight of my face. I sat with him for hours in the NICU so he knew he wasn't alone in this big scary world. He was so brave. Then to discover it was all for nothing! It was so good to take him home!
This little boy has been a joy to have around. He is pretty laid back and fun to cuddle with. He doesn't put up a big fuss and he's pretty obedient. Everyone loves him. He has mad tongue skills and is a little rubber band. He can do a perfect roll through split and often goes from sitting position and rolls onto his tummy to rock himself around the room. Then he rolls back through a split to sit up. He still doesn't really do all fours. I keep hoping. Last week he pulled himself up for the first time. Maybe he will walk eventually after all. He is also babbling soo much more than ever. He hasn't really said anything understandable, but it isn't for lack of trying and he has pretty good facial expressions and tonal expressions that it's not too difficult to interpret what he is after. He truly is a happy little boy.
