Remind me again where the last year went, because I swear this pic­ture was taken yes­ter­day not one year ago. D-man was once cra­dled in Hubby’s hands gen­tly stretched out on his fore­arms now he is mov­ing from baby into being offi­cially one. And I’m in awe, total awe, that he went from this lit­tle baby to a cruis­ing around, vocal (Oh, does he ever get vocal–both Hubby & I are now banned from leav­ing the room for fear of his tiny but pow­er­ful wrath) and see­ing his per­son­al­ity com­ing out more & more very day. But today I’m going to hold him, remem­ber­ing this time one year ago when I held him for the first time, & drink in every moment of it.

We had our fam­ily movie night on Sat­ur­day, we all hung out in the liv­ing room & finally were able to watch Cloudy With a Chance of Meat­balls. It was great. I love see­ing the kids hang­ing out together with their blan­kets & cud­dling up. Hubby took this pic­ture of D-man lay­ing on Mr. G’s blan­ket try­ing to be all cute. As we looked at him lay­ing with the “big” kids we real­ized that he’s going to be one soon. This time one year ago I was wad­dling around, with my giant swollen can­kles & think­ing he’d NEVER be born!! Now he’s rolling around on the floor act­ing like an adorable fool with his sib­lings. And I gotta say it’s pretty awesome.

Mamacita’s join­ing the ranks of Mr. J & Mr. G. I can’t wait to see what she comes up. But I am a lit­tle wor­ried. You see the rea­son why is that I’m tak­ing this pic­ture of her. That means she had the cam­era pointed toward me. I may have to start wear­ing make-up around the house & actu­ally comb­ing my hair in the morning.
