Happy 1st Birthday Silas!!!!

Then...and...now.


It's been a year now since I've slept through the night. Really!!!

A year since our little Uruguayo joined our family.

A year filled with sweet and special days, and some long nights.

A year of watching Silas grow, and watching his brothers and sisters interact with him.

A year of learning to be more self less.

A year of pain with each time he fell and his hospitalization.

A year of watching milestones with wonder and amazement as he: learned to sit up and rawl, interacts with Uruguayans and Peruvians, plays with the other babies his age, learned to hum and "sing" to music and wave his hand mimicking the song leader, and as he learns to speak saying "chau" and "hola".

A year that went by so (too) fast.
A year of loving yet one more of the sweetest children God has given us!

A blessed year!

He looks like a little Scott. :)

If it helps any, most of my kids never slept through the night until they were 15 months old. Not sure why, but that's been the magic number around here! :)

Yes, it has been a year...already.

Yes, he does look a little like Scott. He really favors Simeon though.

And, I had a couple who liked to get up once or twice every now and then but this little dude likes to get up every 2-4 hours. He eats real meals during the day too.
