Almost a year ago my son was born. I am in disbelief that the time has flown by so very quickly. To think that he will be a year old, a toddler, walking and who knows what else blows my mind. I used to think that I would never get married and never have kids. Yet here I am almost 4 years into marriage with a one year old. Silas is such a joy in my life. He makes me laugh, cry, get frustrated, and so much more all in one day. Each day he grows stronger, more independent, and more hilarious.
In the summer of 2008 when Doug and I found out about Silas it was a shocker. We had heard we wouldn't be able to get pregnant and then I had to have surgery when I was four weeks along. To know that early, to have surgery, to have so much uncertainty about his future made me trust in the Lord for strength and guidance. Every week we would get an ultrasound and see that tiny body keep growing and growing. Then...he was here! He came a whole lot earlier than we had expected...about 3 weeks to be exact. And the fun begin. We haven't stopped having fun.
These days Silas loves to play with his cars, his books, his shapes and his Elmo toys. We crawl around the floor and laugh with him. What a joy his laugh bring!!! I find myself being silly just to get him to smile for me.
What a year! I have heard it goes fast. I want to cherish every single day and moment that I have with him. I am looking forward to another year of 1st, joy, laughter, frustration, and so many other wonderful things he brings to my life.
Happy Birthday bubby!!!
