One Year

Peyton turned one today. I can’t believe it! It’s gone by so fast. Everyone said it would and I didn’t ever imagine we would reach this stage.

I can’t believe the changes either. He’s walking and blabbering. He’ll bring me a book when he wants me to read to him. He can climb and descend the stairs on his knees. He will laugh his head off when we do silly things. These are all great milestones! Then there’s also the times he cries when we take something away or say “no.” He throws “tantrums” when he doesn’t get his way. He throws his food on the floor when he’s not interested. Sometimes I wish we could go back!

Today was a great day for a first birthday. Peyton took a 2 hour nap  (a rarity!). The hub and I took off work early, picked up Peyton, and went to dinner. Peyton ate really well (semi-rarity!). We came home and he shoved a chocolate cupcake in his mouth. Then a nice bath and off to bed. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
