Benjamin turned ONE today. I can't even believe it. Last year at this time I was sitting in a hospital. Ben was sleeping next to me, all swaddled like a sweet 7 lb burrito.
Now he's a 22 lb real boy.
Part of me misses the infant days when he was so sweet and cuddly and smelled like a newborn and I could just hold him on my chest and he would just fall asleep effortlessly.
But I cannot forget the Reflux, vision problems, changing diapers in the middle of the night, Cohen's jealousy towards Ben, and the "Mom guilt" for not spending equal/enough time with Cohen/Ben/Andy. I do not miss any of that.
This year was a big adjustment for all of us. Life seems much easier then it did a year ago and I am very grateful for that. I don't know if it has actually gotten easier, or if we have just adapted to feeling tired and busy all the time. Either way, it's better. And I am happier than ever.
Let me tell you some of the reasons we all love Ben so much...
He has cutest laugh that I have ever heard. It's easy to get a smile out of him. His cry face is adorable. His walks like a cowboy. He's a good sleeper. He's funny. He's cuddly. He's a cute dancer. His hair looks like Albert Einstein's after every nap. He has chubby cheeks. He sometimes sings himself to sleep.
We LOVE You my sweet Benjamin Boy.
Happy Birthday!
