One

Right now, my son is still a one year-old but in five short days that will all change. I'm going to savor these last five days when my baby is still one. When I think back to two years ago, I remember being almost 10 months pregnant, in moderate to intense pain on a daily basis, and so desperately wanting to meet my new baby boy. How life can change so quickly. I am here today, with my almost two-year old who runs around creating a path of destruction wherever he goes, and couldn't imagine a world without him in it.

Carter, you have an amazing zest for life and are an intensely curious little boy. You are constantly fascinated by how things work. You are funny, and kind with a big heart just like your momma.

I love you so much that it hurts.

The very first picture of Carter, ever. ^^
