Happy Birthday Tayte

You know I'm going to say the cliche` phrase of how fast babies grow and i'm going to say it loud,

 Its not fair that babies grow so fast! and who gave babies the right to grow up in a blink of eye!

I was in the kitchen making some treats for Tayte's birthday and I couldn't help but cry over how fast he has grown, and that a full year is already over. I just can't believe its August 1st and my baby, who I just gave birth to, is now one.

lately, Tayte has started to climb everything, he is one brave boy! When we walk into our front door he will squirm and squirm till I let him go, so he can climb all 15 stairs to our top apartment. He climbs on chairs, stools, refrigerator  and most recently the toilet. He climbs onto the toilet seat and stands there next to us at the sink and smiles with big grin knowing he had just accomplished a major feat.

He has just recently learned how to wave. The other day as he was being rocked to sleep, he was lying on my shoulder listening to me sing. As I laid him down, I continued singing and rubbed his tummy and face. Truly enjoying the moment with my baby. Then I stopped and whispered it was time for me to go now. He looked up, paused.. and then gave little wave. And then, for like the 389 time that day, my heart burst.

 I'm grateful for you mister Tayte and I love you so very much. 

Happy Birthday my sweet, little boy.
