The Countdown begins...

Less than a month to my boys 1st birthday...

This is so bittersweet. I love that he is growing and learning, but my heart aches to bring back my baby. Very rarely does he just lay in my arms and just be sweet...he now has to pull on my ears, hair, poke me, wiggle, giggle...basically anything he can do (which is alot now!).

He will be 1 on Dec 29th....right after Christmas. I think we are going to have his party the weekend after New Years though...since if you look at the calender his birthday does not fall on a convienant day. Oh well, at 1 he won't really know that.

We are having a Mickey party...Mickey is a rock star in this house. His "smash cake" will be a replica of his Mickey ear hat that we got him on his first trip to Walt Disney World (at not quite 3 months old), and I am making cupcakes for everyone else. Red, Black, and White streamers and ballons, and various Mickey themed stuff. I am looking forward to it, even if he will only remember it by pictures later in life.

Bittersweet moments. I also can not believe that it has been almost a year since his birth changed me forever. I became a mother and it sparked my passion into a full fledge flame - midwifery. His birth was so wonderful that I can't wait to be in labor and give birth again...just have to get pregnant first. (We are waiting another year or so though, dear readers...)

Time to go to bed...I have no idea why I am still up.

Like this, only without the hat and with the Micky emblem on one side, and this name on the other, like his real hat.
