Gavin is 1!!!

I can't believe how fast the year went. My little baby is now one, he can walk, is starting to talk and eats table food, and he also drinks out of a sippy cup now. I told myself I wouldn't cry but here I am shedding a few tears. My baby is growing up. I look at Caleb and Gavin and can't believe how big they are, it seems like yesterday the Dr. put them in my arms for the first time. Where does the time go? Caleb is now four and in preschool. I watch my boys grow and am amazed at them, it is amazing to me that a baby can go from the size of a doll to a little person in just a year, that they can go from needing you all the time to telling you "I do it..." in just a couple years. I look at the little people they are and wonder what they will be like when they are older. This thought scares me because I honestly wish I could keep them small forever, keep them safe from the world, but like a mother bird you eventually have to let them fly. Luckily I am a few years away from that but it still scares me and excites me.

I watch them learning and understanding things that I wasn't sure they would understand. Caleb loves anything that has to do with space, he tells me all the time when he grows up he is going to be an astronaut and go to space just like Buzz Lightyear. I remember being four and having so many dreams, they constantly changed but that is a four year old for you. I don't know what they will be when they grow up, who knows they might be an astronaut or a Doctor.

I love my boys so much and I am so lucky that Heavenly Father entrusted me with them, they truly are special and I see it every time I look into their eyes.
