I truly cannot believe that our sweet boy is one year old today.. at exactly 2:56 pm. This year has been one of the best years and most challenging in my life. I would be lying if I said this whole year was nothing but fun and giggles. Parenthood is hard, there is no other way to put it. With that being said, its so very rewarding. I kind of look at it like Brenton and I have made it a year.. today marks the one year anniversary of us becoming parents and I can't help but to think about all of the memories and milestones we had with Eli in his first year of life and how, even with being an infant, he has taught us so much along the way. Its truly amazing just how much your child teaches you, as parents we teach our children all the time and often think of it that way, but have you ever stopped to realize how your child teaches you? Eli Glenn has taught us a lot his first year, he taught us patience with all of the sleepless nights he gave us (and still does), and he taught us just what true love means. I can't even begin to explain the amount of love I feel for him and it just grows more and more every day. I remember immediately after giving birth, Brenton placed him on my chest and all I could do was look at him and cry.. that moment felt like pure bliss. I look forward to the many more memories that lie ahead.
Here is a comparison picture from just a a day old to a whole year old!
We love our sweet boy so much and are so thankful and blessed! We prayed and prayed for this little guy and God answered our prayers. Our life would not be the same without him!
And just for the record, I have cried only twice today.. once right at midnight, but I blame the commercial that had the song "You are so beautiful" playing in the background and another time this morning when we were watching the video of his birth. Mama and daddy love you so much Eli!!!!!
