Yesterday was Carter's official one year birthday, but we celebrated with a construction themed birthday party and his baptism two weekends ago. It was a great time with both families all together to celebrate the little man's major milestone.
In case you were wondering, yes he loved the cupcake.
Bryson and I looked back through all the photos from his birth date last night. It all happened so quickly that day. He was one week early. First contraction at 3:30. Made it to the hospital by 4:30. He was born at 7:06 pm. All 9.1 pounds and 21.5 inches of him. He was bright red like a tomato and even then, had the most delicious looking chunky thighs. To top it off, it just happened to be Father's Day.
I like to think that Carter's been living his life the past twelve months the same way he entered this world - confidently, enthusiastically, and with an insatiable appetite. And I like to think he'll always be that way. He has changed so much in such a short period of time, but looking at those pictures from his first few moments of life, I can see a shadow of the same little boy that we know today. And I wonder about what he will be like in a year from now, in 5 years from now, as an adult. He's just at the very beginning of his lifelong adventure.
I said it in one of my first monthly posts, and I'll say it again. He's the sweetest little soul I ever did meet. And his whole body radiates warmth and love. I wish he could stay like this forever, but I can't wait to get to know him more and more as the days pass. Just go SLOWLY, please!
Thanks for being your rolly polly little self. You da man, meatball!
