My Baby Boy

Tonight I was particularly nostalgic as I cuddled my one year old son on the couch... two hours after bedtime, because I couldn't bear to put him to bed today. He was so cuddly and playful tonight, so I let him stay up and we just laid on the floor and played. I can't believe it's been a year since he was born. It makes me want to cry to think about how fast time is going by...oh, I'm turning into my mother. I thought I would share with you some of the best moments of today, a year ago. It was the scariest, hardest, most painful, intimidating thing I have ever done in my short little life, and it was the most beautiful moment as well.

Neil L. Anderson, of the quorumn of the Twelve Apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints said "We hold in our arms the rising generation. They come to this earth with important responsibilities and great spiritual capacities." It has been my divine right this last year to hold such a child in my arms, to feel - on a daily basis - the love of my Heavenly Father, and the peaceful, happy Spirit that He can bring into our homes. I feel so blessed.

So this is where I was a year ago. I was fortunate enough to have my sister-in-law (a photographer) there to capture this beautiful time in my life. Here are some of the pictures she took.














Happy Birthday baby boy!

I love you to the moon and back.
xoxo

  2. Holy Cow! I am so glad I found your blog, so we can be blog buds! Your boy is to die for! Too bad we don't live in Provo still so our hubs can be on the same football team and we can sit and make fun! Good times.
