Remembering the last year

Today is all about Gage and remembering our milestones of the last year. He joined our family forever on Sept 19th, 2006 and became a US citizen on Sept 22nd, 2006 when we arrived in Houston. What has changed since then?

When we first came home Gage would not allow us to sit him on the floor (no belly time)! Now he owns it; rolling around with the dogs and playing with his cars.

He could only say Mommy and Daddy. Now he runs around acting like a monkey and making many animal noises. He is starting to become a little talker too! He has even said GO BUCKEYES! Yes, he is a true Dearth.

I used to be concerned when I didn’t hear Gage making noises in his crib. Now I pray that he will sleep in on the weekends and not wake up during the night. We hit an additional milestone last week. Gage slept in until 11:00!!! We kept checking in on him to make sure he was okayJ

No more bottles only sippy cups. And we are getting away from the no leak ones… They are too restrictive and Gage gets mad if he can’t get his juice!

My baby is turning into a little boy!

I used to be afraid to be a parent. Now I have no idea how to not be one! The world definitely changes. I can’t wait to leave work and get home to see my little man hanging out with Daddy. He has picked up on Chris’s sense of humor and daringness. Watch out! I can only imagine what he will be like when he is five. The past year of our lives has been the most special experience I have ever had. The amount of joy Gage brings to both Chris and me is immeasurable.
