The Big One

Well it really did happen, my baby turned one years old July 3rd, I swear I just brought him home from the hospital like last week right?! Crazy good year, full of learning, adjusting, teaching, tears, laughter, and lots of love. This boy never ceases to amaze Chance and I. We are so blessed to be in his life. He has taught us so much about life, and has brought a deeper love into our marriage and family that continues to grow everyday. Ok enough tears...He had a pretty great birthday I do believe, we opened presents, went to the splash park, ate cake, and played with his new toys all day! Chate is a very active little guy now, and loves running from toy to toy (you should see my house at the end of each day). Chate loves to go "bye-bye", and is so happy to be in the car, with about a 3 hour limit. One day while Chance was blessing the food I looked over at Chate and he was folding his arms! Every time we say a prayer we tell him "prayers, fold your arms" and he does, for about 2 seconds, but hey he does it!  Every time I say lets go take a nap or go night-night, he will go straight into his room by himself, EVERY TIME, I know I still don't believe it myself. I really hope he keeps that up! He says "uh-oh" and does really great facial expressions along with it. He really is just a great little boy and I could not be more happy be his mom, and experience each day with him by my side.
