Baby to Boy

On January 5th, 2010 I had a split mix of feelings... half THRILLED my little guy turned one, and half heartbroken that he is no longer my little baby. I know this is an eye-rolling statement from other moms in that every mom probably feels this same way... "been there done that"..... but I am blessed with the advice just before Davis was born: "Do not wish your child into being at the next phase of his life". Example, "I can't wait until he can walk or talk or eat solids or naps once or plays solo".... I tried not to ever say these things (with a few slip ups when he was not sleeping through the night!!!!) .... and feel lucky I have soaked in all these crazy phases in his first year. I cannot BELIEVE how fast this first year has gone, so I hope to stick by the advice given to me. I may slip up here and there.... especially when I hear "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" but, generally I think I can take it! :)

Love to you all, missy
