I can barely remember what life was like before our children were born. We could go out whenever we wanted to, we could stay up all night, we could go on trips.....the list is endless. But we've been blessed with these two beautiful boys and each day passes with ever-greater velocity.
Sweet Tyler celebrated his very first birthday yesterday. Since his arrival was a scheduled c-section, I spent all day on Monday thinking where I was a year ago and how I was rushing around to make sure our bags were packed for the hospital, getting Justin settled with grandma and grandpa, etc., and not knowing yet whether the baby in utero was a boy or a girl.
A year later, I can't imagine anything else besides the handsome, happy, perfect boy that we have. He is an amazing gift to us.
Tyler hasn't been feeling well the past few days and woke up on the morning of his birthday with a temperature of 101.4. That's pretty unfair to a guy who's only 365 days old, but he powered through. It was obvious that he wasn't feeling like himself, so we stayed in for dinner. I went to Kroger's and bought a 6-pack of decorated cupcakes to celebrate. We put a candle in the shape of a "1" on top and sang Happy Birthday to him, which he loved. After that, we had a couple of presents for him and he appeared to really enjoy the experience.
But the time came to end the evening when he finally began to disintegrate.
It's safe to say, I think he's going to enjoy being 1.
