Saying this for the 76 time but this year has flown by; I
mean really, so much so we themed his birthday party Time Flies. Because it
really does. Like wow. You’re one years old. With Moses it was more a
celebratory YAY we’ve survived the first year but this time it was more YAY we’ve
loved having you a part of this past year.
In no particular order here is a snapshot into Emery’s
world. He loves to eat; I know last time I was battling the mom guilt over
organic pouches but those days are long behind us now that he eats table food
at every meal. Waffles with applesauce, sweet potatoes, strawberries,
watermelon, steak, corn, black beans, you name it, he eats it. He still wakes
up once a night! Honestly I’m used to it but man after 12 months I’d love to
lay my head on my pillow and not open my eyes until the sun comes up; maybe one
day I’ll stop making excuses and work on that whole sleeping through the night
thing. He loves playing in Moses room; they wonder down the hall (oh hey by the
way WE BOUGH A HOUSE) and get lost in cars and balls and climbing all over the
bed.
In the few weeks leading up to his first birthday he got his
first tooth and started walking! He’s been walking for less than a month but
boy does he get around; runs up and down the halls and darts for any open
doors. Just writing this I’m filling with such joy talking about him…he really
does make our life so much brighter!
My first born taught me how to be a mother; to give up a
large portion of my selfish ways and multitask both mentally and physically. We
scanned the baby books looking for answers why our baby was up crying so much
at night and used gas drops (HAHA). When our second came around it was old hat,
second nature; no mommy meltdowns in the middle of the night or googling every
new thing he did. It’s confirmed just how much I love being a mother and I wish
everyone could have their second child first!
A few pictures of his party and a sneak peak at the house!
