Davis is ONE!

So today is Davis' first birthday. I was rocking him before bed last night and he had passed out in my arms. I have a pretty firm rule that I lay him in his crib drowsy but still awake - but I just couldn't help it. I'm sure this is normal to feel with your youngest, but he is just growing up WAY TOO FAST. STOP! We gave him a fork to eat with last night and he totally nailed it like, on his first try. (This kid takes his mealtimes VERY seriously.)

Having Davis was one of the best days of my life - so was the day I had Addie, but her labor was so long and horrible that the excitement waned and exhaustion set in around hour 20. My favorite memories of my labor with Addie are when it was over and we finally got to meet her.

With Davis, things went so fast and smooth, it really gave us time to enjoy the whole experience! (Although I will admit, driving home to get my bags and say goodbye to Addie after my midwife told me to get to the hospital because I was dilated to a 5 almost a 6 was probably not the best choice...it does make us laugh looking back.)


Here I am (post epidural, obviously!) getting ready to deliver Davis. We were so excited to find out if the baby was a boy or a girl!

It was so cool when Jeremy delivered Davis (with a little guiding from my midwife) and having Jeremy be the one who told us it was a BOY! (We are SOOO doing it that from now on....totally worth it.)

One of the best things about this past year was watching Addie and Davis' relationship grow. It has been quite a year and I love to see them interacting and playing together.

(Addie meeting Davis in the hospital. Oh my gosh, she was so little!)

Playing together about a month ago at the Children's Museum. Watching them grow up together has been a total blessing.

We feel so blessed to have these guys in our life! As sad as it is that time seems to be flying, it's also so fun to watch their personalities and independence grow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, D!
