Dear Korbyn,

   You are now 1-year-old as of yesterday. I can not believe how fast this year has gone by and how much you have grown. From the first time I even learned that you were growing inside of me my heart started growing. And then I held you in my arms and I never knew how much love my heart could hold.DSC_4928_edited-1

Someone once told me, “Love multiplies, not divides.” I completely agree with this. My love for you and your sister is more than I could ever describe to anyone.

You are the sweetest baby boy I have ever been around. Now I know I am a little partial but it’s still the truth. The only time you are not happy is when you are hungry. And even then if we give you a little snack you just go back to your chill baby self.

It is so fun watching you and your sister, Jayci, starting to play and have a relationship. She love you so much and tries to be a little mommy to you all the time. Sometimes you let her other times you fuss at her. But when she comes home from school or has been away for some time your face lights up. You love to crawl all over her and she will just let you do whatever.

I think that you know that you are supposed to be being a bigger boy now because today you started walking like crazy. You have been taking several steps at a time for about month now. But today you have started being fearless and walking everywhere. I love you being my baby but it is so fun watching you grow and learn new things!

You can say several words such as; momma, dada, bye-bye, hi, dog, and five (as in high five). One funny thing that you do is that your bye-bye wave and your hi wave is a little different.

You are still nursing some during the day and before bed but you are good about drinking milk or water from a cup as well. If someone would have asked me when you were just a few weeks old if I would still be nursing at a year I probably would have said no. But we have conquered lots of obstacles and will continue until we both decide it’s time.

Korby you have brightened our world so much since your arrival. I am so glad God made me your mommy.

Thank you! The whole bfing stuff hasn't been easy but I just took it a day at a time. I always thought "okay if I can just make it through the day. And I always did...mainly b/c we never had formula in the house so it wasn't readily available if I did want to give up.
