Fun, Fun...Rogan is One!!!

Wow!!! The day my baby reaches a huge marker in his baby years....turning one! Looking back on the past year as I read over my blog from the time he came how, it is truly amazing how much he has changed! I still remember his baby smell and the first time I held him and ah yes...the first cry. It is so vivid to me. I remember walking up and down the hallway at the hospital after he was born b/c it was the first time in a long time I was able to walk without horrible pain. and do I dare say, I think we may try it again...who knows! I remember not wanting to put him down for even a second to sleep at the hospital because I was so excited to finally meet this little miracle that had been growing in my belly for what seemed eternity...nine months.

I remember charting all his first feedings on the chart they send home from the hospital. Watching and listening for him to breath while sleeping and endless, sleepless nights of feedings and soothing. I would still do it all over again. The first smile and Rogan laughing in his sleep! My big boy...one year old now claps. It is so cute! My very favorite thing that he does is when he gets so excited, he holds his hands out and they shake all over along with his toes. I just love it and his laugh lights up the room! Honestly, it sounds just like Grayson's just a bit softer! I love how he says Dada and Mama. He tries to say kitty and dog and makes some letter sounds. He loves flap books too.

Rogan's birthday was much fun! He was a bit on the irritable side that day so we decided to stay home verses going to The Children's Museum. We will save that for another day. We just played at home after lunch. I made lasagna for dinner, Rogan loves it! Afterwards, we had cake that I made and opened some gifts from us and other family members. It turned out to be a great day even with me having my mommy moments about the big one year! Rogan's party went very well also. A few friends couldn't make it b/c they were not feeling well. I am sure we will see them soon though with all the spring birthdays coming up. Rogan likes cake and gets very excited about it! Thank you to every one for making my baby's first birthday a special one. He will always be my baby no matter how old he gets just like big brother Grayson.
