Happy Birthday Rocklin!!

Today my baby boy turns ONE. I can't even believe one year ago today that I was in the hospital waiting to meet my new little guy! Even though Rocklin was born about 5 weeks early, he has been really healthy and to date has had no medical problems (which we are very thankful for). Rocklin is the sweetest little boy and Adam and I are so proud to be his parents. The first year has been so fun! It has been a joy watching Rock grow and learn.

Rocklin has quite the little personality now and is pretty much always a happy little guy. He is in to pretty much everything these days, discovering and exploring every chance he gets. He can walk now, which he learned over the Christmas holiday. He loves books and is starting to have a thing for stuffed animals. He's got the most beautiful blonde hair with cute curls at the drape of his neck! He loves playing with other little kids and I think he will be a little social butterfly once he can talk. He can say Mama and for now that's it, but Adam's trying hard to get a Dada out of him.


Happy Birthday, little man. We love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our family!! We are going to have a little get together with some close friends this weekend, so I will be sure to post pictures from his party afterwards.



Adam and Rocklin - right after he was born. Rocklin was SO tiny, with a birth weight of 5 lbs. 3 oz. He's since made up for his small size and is about 21 lbs. right now.


Rocklin about two days old with his Grammy Jody.


Rocklin all dressed up to finally go home. (That was the scariest car ride of my life!!!)

This picture makes me laugh because his little bird legs were so teeny!!

Here's Rocklin at one year. So happy and so playful. I love you, son!
