Elliot is One!

Dear Elliot,

I can't believe how fast time has flown by. You were born one year ago, at 2:29pm. Giving birth to you was no walk in the park. The last six hours before you came out was probably the longest six hours I've ever had. But after you came out, you were the handsome-est baby I've ever seen with your hair all nicely combed by the nurse. You were no easy baby though. I thought you were going to be easier than your sister. No such luck for us. I still can't believe we made it to today, after countless days and months where we spent hours cradling you, rocking you, and shushing you to sleep. And all those sleepless nights when you were sick, holding you as you screamed and cried. Look at you now - walking, babbling, crawling up and down stairs, and sleeping through the night (when you're not sick). Happy first birthday, my love.
