One Day At A Time: Nicholas turns 1

Nicholas turns 1

Well, it happened, in a blink of an eye, my baby boy turned 1. How could 1 full year have gone by already? I remember like it was yesterday being in labor. Waiting and praying that Nicholas would be okay. Nicholas was measuring much bigger than my other two so they thought there might be complications with the delivery. I remember the moment they told me that I could grab him and I did. I pulled him to my chest and cried and kissed him and told him just how much I loved him. I cried because it was done. He was safe and healthy and in my arms. I will hold that moment forever in my heart. That began our love affair....
I cannot tell you how much that boy fills my heart with love. I can't even believe that we waited so long. He is an angel sent from heaven. He has been good since the day he was born. He hardly ever cries and when he does, it is usually able to be fixed in minutes. He is usually hungry or tired. He smile fills the room and his laugh is contangious. He is the craziest, curliest hair I have ever seen and beautiful brown eyes that I can stare in forever. I know that momma's are not suppose to have their favorites but I have to say, that boy melts my heart. (Even though all three of them have had the #1 spot on time or another and I am pretty sure tha will continue forever :))... It has been such a joy to get to know Nicolas. His little personality. The way he loves his paci and his blanket. The way he gets all excited in them morning when I get him out of bed or the way he snuggles with me right before he goes to bed. There are so many things I love about him, I could go on forever... I just can't believe my last baby is already 1. No more newborn, no more little baby.. He is growing up... I enjoy every minute of being his momma and look forward to the journey ahead.... There is nothing I enjoy more than being a mom to my 3 boys... My cup is definitely half full!!!!
(Happy Birthday, Nick)
