Reminiscing

Since Cadell's first birthday last weekend I have as most people do, been reminiscing back to Cadell's birth.

It is hard not to think about what I was doing this time last year, how small he was, how far we've come since then, the sleepless nights and worrying about how he wasn't gaining weight.

Now he is a great big heavy lump at 11kgs!

Its so easy to forget those early days as they were so hazy, with sleep deprivation and the newness of the situation.

It is amazing for me to look back at his early photos and realise the similarities, how much he still looks like he did then.

I guess before I had my own baby I kind of thought all babies looked the same, but their little personalities and own features are there right from the beginning.

He is so precious to us! Its hard to know just how much they will change your life when you are pregnant, or even when they are first born. 

He is so much fun, and always a joy to be with. I am sure when he gets into his toddlerdom we will have challenges, but I will always enjoy being with him.
