How do you measure a year?


Seriously! The fastest year of my life just happened.

So, I feel like I'm not alone in the "Yep, I went through a RENT phase......" (No shame!) I was thinking about how to measure this past year and tapping into my past love affair with RENT seemed slightly appropriate...

 This past year has been measured in....

Weeks, months, days, minutes, seconds, and lots of contractions.
Us!
In tears (Lill's and ours), 2 hour nursing/sleeping schedules, and ounces of precious milk. 
In visits to Hemet, trips to Disneyland, and skillfully packing a car for camping.
Papa Lee and 2 week old Lilly
Sleepy smiles
Sometimes all you can do is rock.

In tummy time, tubby time, and first smiles and giggles.
In diapers, in bottles (not finished), in stuffy noses.
In quiet moments at 2am and Saturday morning snuggle time.
A perfect day
Baby toes!












Really, it doesn't get any better.
On the move!
In rolling, scooting, and finally crawling!
In pointing, babbling, and first words, Dada, tat (cat), a-dog-a (dog), and finally Mama!!!
Beginning to stand up

Practicing hunting for eggs
In teething, and standing, and stepping around.
"Hello? Grandma!"
Happy St. Patrick's Day












In sloppy kisses, in hugs, and in those big baby blue eyes!!!









Measuring in love doesn't even begin to explain it!


Look out I'm ONE!
 Thanks VERY MUCH to everyone who has given us support in our first year as parents. We are loving every minute of it!!! (Yes, even at 2:30am.) Lillian you are better than we ever dreamed you would be, you make us smile every day, we have fallen deeply and madly in love with you, and we treasure every moment we get to be with you. God bless you Lill!
