After all of our vacationing it was good to come home. We had a little party planned with some friends here to celebrate with us on Ryan's birthday. Unfortunately, Ryan got a fever the day after we got home that lasted a few days and we had to cancel/postpone the party. In stead we had a quiet day just the 3 of us. I opted to buy cupcakes rather than make a whole batch just for us. Ryan even managed to blow out the candle by him self! (We'd been working on blowing.)
We took him to Toys 'R' Us to get his birthday present which was a "Water Table." (Great idea Mom.) He loves it and we play outside with it daily. He's such a water kid and we are not a bit surprised. He loves everything water. I couldn't be happier as I love everything water too.
Here he is trying to dip his face in. He's a swim teacher's dream! :)
As I think back on the first year I have so many emotions. I am so glad we made it through, but a little sad that my baby is growing up. I'll be honest and say that it was one of the toughest years of my life and though things are a bit more stable there are still challenges. Sleeping continues to be our trial. However, motherhood is great and I love my baby more and more everyday.
Ryan, we love you. You have brought so much joy and laughter into our lives and into the lives of your friends and family. Everyday is an adventure and you never cease to amaze us. Your jolly nature puts Santa Clause to shame. The most frequently asked question about you is, "Is he always this happy?" The answer is always, "Yes!" You have an infectious smile and laugh and love to share with those around you. You are very friendly and outgoing. Sometimes it makes us nervous. You love other kids and babies and animals. We are so grateful that you came to join our family. We love you!
Love,
Mom and Dad
