HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY, BLAKE!
One year ago today, Ryan's and my life changed forever. I suppose Blake's did also. There's a lot about that day I'd like to forget, some of which I already have. But the one thing I do remember is looking into Ryan's eyes as I lay on the operating table, and asking "Is he OK?" and "What's his name?" A few minutes later, I finally met my son, Blake Thomas Becker.
(Remember how he came out with a squishy nose? How cute!)He's become such a great little kid. I have a hard time even calling him a baby anymore, although I suppose, for fear of sounding trite, he'll always be my baby.
One big announcement -- Blake has officially taken his first steps. He's not really walking yet, but he's definitely taking baby steps, 4 or 5 at a time on his own. I'm sure it won't be long before he's running all over the place. You can tell he definitely loves to try.
Something else he loves? Eating. Especially breakfast (just like his Mom!) So Ryan and I took him to the Pancake Circus this morning for a birthday breakfast. MMMMMmmmmm.
We'll be celebrating more this weekend with family and friends. A party brought to you by the letter B: a Becker Backyard Birthday Bash with Burgers and Beer. And most importantly, of course, Blake. I promise a blog full of pictures.
But for now, a look at the past 12 months as our little baby Blake has turned into an amazing little boy.
