His first little cries were a thing of wonder. I instantly started to tear up and cry. I remember a nurse asking me if I was okay, and me responding with "yes Im just so happy". He was a perfect little boy, and still is. I remember being in awe at the first sight of him. How could I have been carrying this little person for the past 9 months. Elliot was born just before midnight, yet I didnt sleep at all that night. I stayed up, holding and just watching my baby sleep.
This past year for us have been filled with many challenges and obstacles. Had we not had Elliot when we did we likely wouldnt have been able to have him at all. He is truly our miracle baby. Throughout our entire experience our calm little man had been awesome. From his first day on earth the nurses described him as the calmest baby in the nursery, and very content. To this day when hes angry it doesnt last long. He really just goes with the flow.
Now my baby is a year old toddler. I can hardly get him to cuddle with his mom anymore. He seems so much bigger than 1 year. To think a year ago he let me hold him all night. Now my boy would want to get down and run around the house. Instead of milk he's wanting "real" food, and has pretty much decided to refuse all meat. He wakes up happy and frequently calling for "Da Da" or "Ma Ma!!!". Hes trying to talk more and more. Hes a ways from really talking, but he will try to repeat some things. Elliot loves the outdoors. Spending time down at the creek with his dad is a blast, and he will cry if you take him out of the water before hes ready.
He is growing up so fast. We are just trying to enjoy our little man one day at a time. He had a really great weekend this weekend just hanging out with family and having fun. Now if time can only slow down....he just seems to be growing up so fast.
