Wow. So B-dawg is ONE!!!! Unbelievable journey this first year. We have, all 3 of us, changed in so many ways, dramatically. Adam is an extremely hard working "bread-winner" and "honey-doer", (we're so living in the 50's stereotype...it might make a few people a little ill...sorry) A PROUD, concerned, and very involved Dada, and an incredible friend and partner to me. Still striving to get his action on, but definitely having to prioritize WAAAAY more than ever before.I....... am a... MOM. Do i really need to say much more?
And B, sweet charismatic little Brayden; has gone from a larval, helpless, little shriveled being, to a stout, personality-filled, little KID, who knows how to communicate his intentions, curiosities, needs, and wants, who understands SOOO much more than we all give him credit for, and who is in a constant state of actively exploring.... EVERYTHING in his world.....every waking moment ("BUSY" might be a good word used to describe his activitiy level:)). Currently he is "the transporter of goods." Taking one object to another place...far, far away (in his world) stashing it, and retrieving another for its next big transport. We couldn't find the TV controls for 3 days, went to get my watering pitcher from under the kitchen sink...there is was...nestled away in the pitcher, under a couple of blocks, a stuffed sheep, and a binky. "That's where THAT goes."
Brayden is a constant joy, stress, and pure entertainment. I am more in love than I have ever been in my life, both with my son and my "husband," at the same time, I am a little more on edge than BB (before Brayden).... To love this much, the fear of something going wrong weighs heavier than I have experienced ever before. Also the pure joy of just watching such true contentment (most of the time) and fresh, growing knowledge, is a reward I thought I'd never hold so high. All and all...WHAT a YEAR!!!! Happy, healthy, and moving forward!! All 6 of us! Happy Birthday Brayden!! Your party was a hit, and literally since that day...you just seem a little different.....like a total TODDLER!!!! luv you xxx
