Why does today feel like such an emotional roller coaster for me? I don’t remember being so emotionally distraught when Charlie turned 1, but for whatever reason, as happy as I am to celebrate my boy and his beautiful, beautiful life, today feels hard. F*** those momma hormones.
How has an entire year flown by? How is my baby not a baby anymore? Seriously, when did that happen? Excuse me while I curl up in a corner…
Anyway, I have so many updates. My guy is such a little man. I will do the more formal update – I swear I will – but for today, just random thoughts.
My Henry Morris is just the sweetest, most lovable, soft, porcelain, angelic, destructive, curious, rambunctious, snuggly, loving little man. To say that I feel lucky to know him and have him in my world sounds almost silly. Being that little guy’s momma is unworldly. To be the momma of he and Charlie is just the greatest honor.
Oy. I’m not emotional at all, huh? But seriously, Henry is amazing and I’m lucky. The End!
In terms of Henry… he LOVES to smash. He’s just SUCH a boy. He lifts up the floor vents (I didn’t even know that was possible) and smashes them on the ground, tries to shove them down the vent and throws miscellaneous items down there. He takes any and every opportunity to mess with the dog’s food and water bowl or the dog himself. He loves balls (ba ba ba) and trucks. And, most of all, he LOVES WATER. This boy is a fish. Actually, he’s like a little Moana… but instead of longing for the ocean, he’ll settle for a bath, pool or the dog’s water bowl. Splashing is his jam. He’ll dunk his face in and kick for days.
Henry is a total hugger. He loves his mommy.
Ugh, okay! That’s the end for now… gotta go make my little boo a special dinner!
Oh mommy hormones are NO joke!
My baby girl is still a newborn, and I’m already all teared up at the thought of her growing up. (In fact, I’m like sobbing over here reading your post. Ha, ha). Kaitlyn is our last baby, because we always wanted just two. And our family does feel complete now. But at the same time, I want her to stay little forever. (Granted, I’d take more sleep and maybe a bit more independence… So I guess it’s good that the newborn stage doesn’t last forever). But still, I already miss it, and she’s still a newborn. Ha, ha!!!
Mommy hormones, for sure!
