Wow, it's crazy that August is one year old today. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. It's been a pretty emotional day for me. I close my eyes and I see little snapshots of the year. From the moment August was born and the doctor setting him on my chest, to the first couple of weeks, with Rob and I camping out in the living room with August's bassinet in the middle of the room. And the next few months when we would hold him all day and he always napped on us (I was pretty much glued to the couch when Rob was at work!) It seemed we only put him down for tummy time - and we'd play with him and he got so strong. I'd tote him around in the front pack the rest of the time. I remember his first rollovers and the excitement of it! Hearing his voice for the first time was amazing - it was so sweet and cute. And being so sad when he got his first scratch on his so-perfect brand new skin. And the first laugh - it was in the middle of the night and made being up at 3 AM totally worthwhile. Then the fourth month, when I discovered that August didn't have to nap on me all the time and COULD be put down in his bassinet and what a relief it was to be able to get off of the couch. I loved our walks and playing in the park. Then, the big move from the little bassinet to the "big boy" crib in his own room. That was huge. Then sitting up and being at daycare. Babbling more, scooting, pulling up and crawling seemed to happen so fast after that (but so slow at the time). I'm leaving out everything, I know.
It's been truly amazing. I remember looking at our little guy wondering what he would be like at one, and here he is! Such a sweet little soul, gentle and loving and sensitive. I love him more than I could ever imagine. I am excited to see what new adventures one-year-old August will bring!
