One Year

It's amazing how much can happen in ONE year.


ONE year ago we welcomed Thatcher into our lives. It's hard to remember just how small and fragile he was at 6 lbs 11 oz., but it's impossible to forget all the joy, love, laughter and smiles he has brought and continues to bring into our lives. Now, ONE year later, Thatcher is 31 inches tall, 23 lbs 9 oz, and full of energy.


We celebrated Thatcher's first birthday on Saturday with family and friends. Thatcher enjoyed eating his barnyard cake, drinking green punch, opening presents, and playing with his cousins!


Summing up an entire year can be exahusting, but here are just some of the things ONE year brings:

  • 16 lbs 14 oz
  • 11 1/4 inches
  • 6 teeth
  • 6 clothes sizes
  • 2 shoe sizes
  • 2 types of carseats
  • 600 + photos
  • diapers, diapers, diapers
  • rolling
  • sitting
  • first foods
  • first steps
  • belly laughs
  • adoring eyes
  • hugs
  • cuddles, and
  • relief - knowing that with each other, no matter what ONE year brings, we really have it ALL.

Here's to year TWO!
