Ellison's First Year!

Our little boy turned one on May 7th. I can't believe he is already a year old. Boy how this year has flown by. We distinctly remember the first day we got to meet our sweet boy and the events that followed his birth. The Lord has brought him a long way. We are so thankful for this first year...for every minute of it...9lbs 9oz baby boy, c-sections, the sleepless nights, the surgeries, changing colostomy bags, being nervous about a new diaper rash, catheters that had to stay in for a week longer...a great baby boy, big bellies, laughter that brightens the worst days, crawling, teething, eating everything under the sun, sleeping all night, bath times, wagon rides, neighborhood walks, talking the baby language, hugs and kisses...the list can go on. I can truly say that this was one of the hardest years of my life, but it was also one of the best. I am so grateful for every blessing that has come with this it. Matthew and I are blessed to have Ellison and look forward to the days ahead with our little boy. Mommy loves you, Daddy loves you, and the Lord loves and has special angels watching over you buddy!!!!
