You're One?!

One Year.
Wow Sawye, what a year we have had. I didn't realize the toll pregnancy and motherhood can have on a body and mind. It's taken a whole year for me to finally start feeling like myself again. But, I wouldn't have changed a thing...maybe having you sleep better, but even then I loved cuddling you and rocking you through the night. (when I wasn't out of my mind tired) and possibly the initial part of nursing I could have gone without. Okay, so there are things about motherhood that I wouldn't mind changing, but I have loved being your mother.
I was looking through some of your clothes the other day and pictures through the last year. I couldn't believe how little you were! You've changed so much! You have always been a deep thinker and still are, but you are starting to show more of who you are. You are a very determined, opinionated, teasing, cuddling, sweet little man. We may have several battles and rough spots in the upcoming years, but that will never change how much I love you and how glad I am that I gave up work and body to have you around. You brighten my days. You keep me trying to improve myself each day so that I may be the mother you need. Happy Birthday my little Soy Boy!
Love Mom.
