wtf now my son has red dots on his face, back and tummy. The only things I can think of are a allergic reaction or from his high fever.

First time eating a blackberry, he loved it.

Eli on his new flip couch.

I saw a butterfly today.

Eli painted by my sister in law.

His eyelashes.

You can walk, your just being lazy! Eli took his first steps today. I was on the floor eating m&m’s and he’s crying trying to get them, I move my hand away and he takes 3 steps to my hand to get one. I move him away and he does it again! It was soo cute I had to let him have one.

Eli turned one on sunday, we had a small BBQ with just a couple of friends. It rained in the morning I was thankful it stopped by the time my husband started cooking. I didnt get any good pictures of his first birthday which makes me sad. I really need a better camera. I didnt cry on his big day, that surprised me. Today is valentines day and Eli got his shots. He cried well getting them and stopped by the time we walked out the room. He hasnt got a fever and he’s acting normal. This time last year Eli was two days old in the NICU.

I can’t believe my son has been in this world for a year in 4 days. I’m freaking out. I’ve been a parent for a year. I’ve wanted kids since I met my husband almost 7 years ago but never thought I would actually have a baby. Now he isnt going to be a baby anymore.

I think im going to start potty training Eli. Hes turning 1 on the 12th and I think we can do it.
