Happy 1st Birthday Nicolas Bjorn!

A year ago today at 9:34 pm our little Nicolas was born and life was never the same again. It was tough at first. Mommy cried a lot, baby cried a lot, and Daddy kind of took over and tried to make things easier for all of us. Eventually Mommy came out of her funk and realized what a precious little baby she had. The little baby grew up! He started to smile! Mommy and Daddy would get all excited when he would grab a toy! We thought he was the smartest baby in the whole world. Then he started to roll over and soon after started to crawl! Wow, we thought, can it get any better than this? He started to babble in his own little language and we would laugh at how cute he was. Baby cereal was added to his diet, then came the pureed veggies and fruits! Yum, yum! What a mess! He gagged a little when the chunkier foods were introduced (freaking out his Mommy) but he eventually got the hang of it. Drinking from a sippy cup became second nature. He started to pull himself up to the furniture and walked around them! Mommy and Daddy were ecstatic! Soon he was walking all on his own and oh so proud. Today, Mommy and Daddy took Nic to McDonalds for a birthday lunch and he ate his first McDonalds french fries and his first pickle. Today our little guy is a one year old toddler and is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to us. Happy Birthday little son. We love you!!
