365 days old

Mauer is one.

I  have been dreading this for about 12 months. He is getting to big to fast. 

I never could have imagined how much i would love being a mom, there are some days I (think) I want something more then I think for 30 seconds and realize there is nothing better out there for me.

 I get to spend my days with the happiest, cutest, most loving little guy, how could it get any better?

*Loves to go up the stairs, and down the stairs. repeat 10 times a day

*Absolutely lights up when he sees his Dad

*Has had at least 1 bruise on his legs since about 5 months. All Boy

I could go on and on. There are so many things I don't want to forget about this little lovey. He is truly the biggest blessing in my life. 

We spent his actual Birthday at the park with cousins and had BWW for dinner with Dad. 

Mauer had a "Monster Bash" party. It was so much fun, all of the hard work was worth it. We had about 25 kids and 20 adults. Talk about a Par-Tay!
