Zeke's One Year Review!

2016-02-06-19.43.31.jpg

I can't believe it! On Monday, Zeke-ster will turn ONE! This year has flown by so quickly. We have cherished every single second and can't wait to see what the next years have in store for our beautiful baby boy! As Ezekiel’s birthday week begins, I wanted to do something special to recap this amazing first year. First things first, we had Zeke's nursery all ready for him (even though he never slept in there :P)! I chose a vintage style airplane theme. Most of the shelving and wall decor came from IKEA, furniture was purchased at thrift stores and redone by the hubs. I made the crib bedding and pillows with fabric ordered online (it was surprisingly easy).

We introduced our boy to the world on February 6, 2016! That was and still is one of the best days of my life. We will forever be grateful for this amazing gift!

Guess who is one?? Wow, has the time flown!

I can't put into words how blessed we are. This last year has been so amazing.

Zeke is currently about 20 lbs and 32 inches. He is soaring on the height charts and is nice and thin ;)

He loves to eat carrots and mashed potatoes with any type of bread.

Daddy's shaker bottles are what make his day!

We are slowly transitioning to whole milk and he seems to love it.

He isn't a huge fan of the sippy cup, but we are taking it one day at a time.

We can't wait to see what this next year brings for our little one.

We love you so much, Zekey, your spirit and your laugh are the greatest gift from God.

"This time a year ago

You were still inside my tummy.

I couldn’t wait to meet you,

Couldn’t wait to be a mommy.

Your laugh is infectious,

Your whole body shakes with joy.

The simplest things are funny

To you, our gorgeous boy.

Daddy’s tickly beard,

Mommy playing pee-pie,

Chasing you on the floor,

Are all hilarious to you.

The only time you scream and shout

Is when you can see food.

Mommy telling you it’s still too hot

Really puts you in a mood.

You love it when we read you books,

You love to sing and clap your hands,

You love to crawl across the floor,

And pull yourself to stand.

You’ll soon be saying your first words,

And take your first steps too.

It’s going to be such an adventure,

The next 12 months with you.

The last year has gone so quickly,

I can’t believe you’re nearly one.

I’m so grateful to have you in my life,

My gorgeous darling son."
