the present of all presents

Exactly 1 year ago today Bryan and I woke up more excited than ever. I was 16 weeks pregnant and this was the day that we were going to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. Not only was it Bry's birthday, but he was about to get the "present of all presents" -- a mini me. As he opened his "gift" we sat in bed, crying and laughing. All we saw was a sea of blue... we were going to have a son! *read about it here* Little did we know what a sweet, silly and good boy we'd become parents to. All that mattered in that moment was that we knew Trace Jameson was on his way to us. And here he is today, at 6.5 months old, sitting up on his own, babbling for days and eating baby food like a champ. Our hearts explode on a minute to minute basis and we just can't believe that it's possible to love someone so much. Trace is our everything and it's almost incomprehensible how much has changed in the past year, all because of our sweet-natured, playful little boy...

Today Bryan celebrates his first birthday as a father. Trace and I are so incredibly lucky to spend our everyday with him. Now bring on the funfetti cupcakes and champagne -- it's celebration time -- my honey is my age for the next 4 months, yahoo!

Happy 32nd birthday, honey!
