Giving birth to a beast.... follow up: one year later.

Here I was.... last year, 7 weeks before I was due.... to give birth to a beast....

the story about his arrival "Lights, catheter, ACTION!!!!" was so much different than Taylor's....

.... and here he was, just 3 weeks later (after the picture above), July 20th, 2009.... on my chest.... screaming....

and it never stopped.... he screamed for the next year straight....

taylor said, "mom, he's just the most beautiful thing i've ever seen!!!!"

we both cried....

and here we are, one year later....

Happy birthday, big boy.... one whole year.... we made it ONE WHOLE YEAR with you!!!! you have shown me more patience (and impatience) than I've ever known I've had.... but you sure light up our lives.... you sure make it fun.... and busy.... and.... well.... busy.... i love you SO much!
