Same Old Story.. Some Kid Does Something Cute

Today is #6's fourteen month birthday. I swore 16 years ago that I would not be one of those parents that keeps track of my babies age in months after the first year.. and I promise I really don't.  Except for today.

#4 and #6.. They don't look too much alike do they?

Happy 14 month Birthday #6!

One Year Ago….

One year ago today The Man and I came home with #6.  His birth was not like any of our other kids.  He was 8 weeks early and weighed a little over 4lbs.  If you've never had a child in the NICU, you probably don't realize you have to be "tested" to see if you know how to take care of your baby before you bring it home.  I wrote about that HERE.

 

The day they cut this band.. I wanted to cry.. I wanted to scream and do a jig.  (I didn't because I thought they'd keep me there if I did.)

Here's #4 and #6 the day he came home. 

You should know that #4 isn't bank robber, he just had a cold that day.

Here they are today..

He was 4lbs 3 ounces and 16" long when he was born.  He's 22lbs and 31" long one year later.  He went from wearing preemie clothes to wearing 18 month clothes.  How blessed are we?

Pretty blessed.

The Many Faces of #6

I don't want you to think I sit around and take photos of my children all day.. but  well maybe I do.

Happy..

I'm bashful.
