He came and he conquered and we now have a toddler on our hands. Severan turned ONE YEAR OLD on 1/13/14. I'll just sit here with my box of tissues while I cry through the next year of his (going too fast) life! Oh, not to mention my first baby is going to be SEVEN next month. That just might put me over the edge...
We had a small gathering (with our friend Ali and her daughter) where we watched Sev stare at his cake, eat a little frosting, and then it was over. I had invitations ready to go out to 8 other families but before hitting "send" on the E-vite I had this feeling of dread and I just couldn't take on one. more. thing. I knew I could put my SuperMom cape on and make it happen but I decided that it wasn't worth it and since Sev didn't care I deleted the invitation and called it a night. I think I'm getting a little wise in my "old" age. =)
Severan is pretty much doing everything that other 1-year old
kiddos are doing. He can walk (he took his first steps several weeks ago
but is pretty confident now) and point and say a handful of words. He
loves opening cabinets and the microwave and has a thing for light switches.
He also loves to dance and sing and if he can find an object to bang - he
will do it. He loves taking a bath and most importantly... cuddling with
his Mama.
The spots on his head are not better but
they're not worse either. Well, we don't think so. In fact, they're
just different this week :( They appear to be darker in color now - which
may be blood, or not - we just won't know until Wednesday when we go in to see
his surgeons again. The spots are very sensitive and if they are even
grazed in the slightest he screams in pain. It breaks my heart.
A happy happy birthday to our sweet baby boy.
