Happy Birthday, William

One year ago today, my baby boy was born. I want to record some of my favorite things about him on his first birthday.

-If he has a binky, or bottle, or sippy cup, and my face is right next to his, he'll keep trying to stick what he has in my mouth until I take it.

-He says "uh-oh", "uh-uh", and "no no", you know, all of the positive things that his mom says to her kids all day long.

-He'll try to crawl fast when he gets excited, but his legs go faster than his arms, and he face plants.

-He'll go to other people and be happy, until he sees mom - then he only wants her. (This happens to be my favorite thing about him right now, though it probably won't last much longer.)

-He loves food.

-He's a cuddler. (Rebecca never was.)

-He's sensitive. He even cries when his sister is getting scolded.

-He thinks Rebecca is the cat's pajamas.

-He has really fat feet, and he crosses them when he is in his high chair.





















-Lately, his tongue is constantly sticking out.

I love my boy. I can't believe he is one already. Happy Birthday, William!

Happy Birthday William! He looks exactly the same when he was brand new- most babies don't look anything like when they were first born. Such a cutie-pie!! Have a fun time in Disneyland!!

I left a comment earlier and it didn't save! Annoying.

Happy Birthday to your little William. And I'm always so jealous of those moms who look good in their pictures after just giving birth. I looked like death! He sounds like quite the little character. What a cutie!

Oh how sweet! Happy birthday to your little William. I love the feet pictures. Vaughn has chubby feet too, and I just love them. I cannot believe that he's 1! I still remember when you were pregnant and had him. That can't have been a whole year ago!
