My son, Knox, just turned one. We had an awesome birthday party for him, complete with cake, kiddie pool, parachute, beach balls, and other babies. He was overwhelmed and cranky at the beginning, but boy did he rally. He scooted all around that pool like he couldn't get enough. After the party, he took a two hour nap, exhausted by the amount of fun present at the first shindig in his honor of his life.
Funny thing is that one year prior, he had also been swimming... in my belly. I look back at the pictures of this amazing little newborn and am in awe. When the doctor first held him up, he took my breath away. He look liked he'd been dipped in baby oil the way his skin glistened. He had a full head of coal black hair, so thick that we couldn't see his scalp. He had deep blue eyes and a scrunched up face. His little hands and feet looked like an old man's. He was momma's boy from the very beginning.
And now, he's this little man. I mean, this kid grew like a superhuman, tripling in size! His hair has lightened up to a light brown and his (super expressive) face has stretched into that of a toddler. His hands and feet are no longer wrinkled, but dimpled. He claps and scoots and kicks and stacks. He giggles all of the time and has a smile that will melt your heart. Okay, okay, I just realized that this is turning into a lovefest.
Point is, a lot has changed in a year.
We looked like this one year ago:
And now we look like this:
