10 Years ago today I was holding my newborn baby boy, in the hospital room trying to keep the baby cap on his little conehead that my Father-In-Law assured me would go away (of course it did! silly me)
Over the course of the 1st year, I was amazed by this small wonder. Feeding, changing, bathing, rocking, all of these I loved every minute of, but my dearest memories are of the middle of the night feedings, just me and my baby boy... bonding. That wonderful baby smell and the long gazes into each others eyes, communitcating silently to each other.
Over the next years, there were all the firsts... steps, words, running, falling, skinned knees, belbows (this was the pronounciation for elbow from a 2 yr old), even a black eye from standing on a big ball and then crashing down onto the coffee table. And with each first there was the usual breath holding from Bobby and I, watching, listening.
I have tried not to be too sentimental today, but I just can't help it! My one and only child turned 10 today and I just know the next 10 will go by in a heartbeat as well. Love you Nicknick, you in my heart forever!
Birthday Pics... Enjoy!
