Will is officially one! I have so much I could blog about, but honestly, I feel a drained after being under the weather this week and would prefer to hash out my reflections later. The short version of Will's birthday - we had a simple but special day. It began with our normal routine of breakfast and STrollerstrides, then we ran an errand to Target, came home for lunch and Will's nap, and took a very brief wagon ride (weather was blustery today!). Next we had a few visitors while Will ate his favorite supper - his momma's homemade meatloaf & mashed potatoes. When the house was quiet again, Brian and I sang to our little man as he dove into one of the cupcakes I made last night. A nice long bath was in order for Mr. Cakeface, then he acted silly (sugar rush?) and played until bottle and story time with his new books.
Ok, so maybe that wasn't a super-short version, but it's much shorter than writing out the "this has been the best year - I'm in love with being a momma to my sweet little boy" feelings that have been making my eyes tear up lately. Maybe I'll do that soon. The blog will continue, and the pages thus far will be made into a special book for Will. It may be years before he can appreciate it, but I hope one day he'll look back at it and see how much I have loved him since the beginning.
Here's pictures of our day ...
Will's crazy monster hat - goofy but SO precious. He got a lot of attention wearing it at Target, which he loved - the little ham.

Will on his birthday morn. He likes to play with the remote for awhile after breakfast.
Cupcakes!
He loved his cupcake - dove right in but didn't make as huge of a mess as I thought.
Pics. below are of a quick test ride in Will's new wagon - our birthday gift to Will. It was too cold to stay out long, so we threw on a pullover and the monster hat and took a very fast spin around the cul-de-sac. We're still laughing at how goofy/adorable he looks in that hat. Will usually looks just like Brian, but there is a little something in these pictures that reminds me of myself when I was little - not sure what it is. Maybe my mother or siblings can pinpoint what it is. Will liked the wagon and looks forward to park playdates and parades to take his friends for a ride. Get ready Elias! :-)
