First Meeting One Year Later



One year ago today I anxiously and nervously climbed the steps to look into the face of my precious baby boy for the very first time. I will never forget walking through the door and seeing him sitting in the walker. I'll never forget picking him up and holding him for the first time, cuddling with him as he fell asleep in my arms. On Tuesday we will celebrate one year as a family. Where has the year gone?

He has grown and changed so much. I can't believe it has been a year!

I know, Really! Well the year has probably gone to changing diapers, saying "no" A LOT and tons of hugs and kisses. What a blessing Levi is to all who know him.
Have a wonderful week,
Natasha
