One-Year-Ago...

today.. Antonio James enter the world. 

Our sweet little boy who came home from the hospital asleep:

 and then never slept again (for months):

turned one-month.  

He spent most of his time in the moby wrap.  It was a rare occasion he sat alone without screaming.

Two-months-old....Daddy slept in another room...because he had to function at work!

Three-months-old...AJ starts to smile all the time (when you are holding him and giving him your complete attention)  Still spends most of his time in the moby wrap...but Dad is back in the same room!

   

Four Months - getting stronger and enjoying more time on his own, because he can roll over in all directions!

Five months old....sweet as pie...loves his siblings...still loves his moby...still hates sleep!

Six-months-old...now he can army man crawl....its a whole new world!

 

Our boy can sit all by himself at 7 months old.

 

Eight months...we are finally sleeping through the night!

   

Nine-months-old.

Ten-Months-Old and we love to play on our own!!   Yeah for mommy.

Eleven-months-old...crazy man.

One-Years-Old

In no means has AJ been my easy baby.  

But as I look back at the last year, even with all the late nights, no sleep, screaming, colicky baby..

I wouldn't trade it for the world.  

Because I all ready miss his littleness. 

Looking at his baby pictures just makes me savory those babies days

Oh how fast the time flies.  

And every minute of lost sleep, and aching back, and spit stained shirt:

is worth it.  

AJ is sweet and lovable.  

He is strong willed and sensitive.

He made Matteo a big brother.

He made our family stronger.  

He is a gift from God and I can not wait to see what is in store for him over the next year. 

Happy Birthday Little Man

We love you.
