12 months already!

Well... it is hard to imagine that 12 months ago today I looked like this...

We have come a LONG way in this first year of Zander's life.  We have witnessed many firsts....a cry, a smile, a laugh, holding up his head, rolling over, sitting up, crawling, "walking" (with some assistance still), a word, a food, each holiday, etc.  We have participated in many new parent activities.... being peed on, pooped on, staying up all night, laughing until it hurts from something Zander did, crying because you have to be away from your baby since he decided he wanted to take a trip to the NICU, being embarrassed in public because of the tantrum he is throwing since he can't communicate how he feels or what he needs, watching others pass him around and being so proud that he is our son.  Without a doubt, this has been a new adventure for the Houstons!!  We have so many exciting times ahead of us, and I hope we never forget how far we have come from Zander's first day on this earth.  We have been parents for a whole year now to this amazing little boy and we can't wait to see all the many "firsts" he will have in this next year.  Look at where Zander started and where he is now.....
