One Year And One Day Later...

...Nelson turns one!!
Some things you should know about Nelson:
He likes to climb up. But not down.
He has one volume. Loud.
He has one scream and he uses it for everything: excitement, anger, frustration, fatigue
He used his first sign language the day before his first birthday to tell me he wanted more food.
He loves food.
He loves to point. At everything and everybody.
He points with his middle finger (which makes grocery shopping interesting)
He is loved more than he can ever understand.

This Time Last Year...

...I had my last regular Dr. appointment. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home, but the contractions were so strong I had to leave. I got home, called Dan in the middle of his Dr. appointment and told him to come home...it was hospital time! Off we went!

Four Years Ago Today...

...we were walking up and down the beach in Treasure Island, trying to "walk out the baby". Then we settled down to watch The Office, when my water broke!
