My Baby Turns 1

 

My little Turner is 1!! I can’t believe it, an entire year has passed since I had a baby and I’m NOT pregnant!!! People always say time goes by very quickly and this year has done just that. I look at T and think he is so little he is still my little baby; I just don’t want him to grow up.

I remember the day I went to the hospital to deliver. I was so ready and so excited to meet this little boy that we had been waiting 40 long weeks to meet. I remember the moment when he was placed into my arms, and I was overcome with this great love and happiness. Our family went from 2 to 4 in just 14 short months!! It was so hard to believe.

Turner is not like Reece by any means, he has a completely different personality and his first year of life was a lot harder than Reece’s. He cried a lot and doesn’t handle changes well. He is such a sweet boy, he loves to cuddle and his laugh is contagious.

 We are so blessed to have him as a part of our growing family. He is such a joy to have around. Although he is not the happiest little guy all the time he can really make me smile and realize that I have so much to be grateful for. He is a very smart little cookie and has advanced a lot having an older sister to show him new things.

I will be honest and say that having 2 children 14 months apart was not planned and has been a challenge, but I wouldn’t change any of it.

I am always going like the energizer bunny, but not with as much energy! I have a very tough job but I wouldn’t change it for anything. Turner you bring a lot of life to our growing family, we love you and are excited to watch you grow and develop.
