First Birthday
It’s the end of the day on Aug 14th. It’s Pickles first birthday. I’ve spent all day trying to decide what I wanted to write to sum up an entire year. The most amazing year of my life. I couldn’t formulate many words, only sentimental tears. All I kept thinking was how I didn’t know it was going to be this amazing. How in love I am. I don’t need to reiterate my “The Other Side” blog post I wrote after he was born, so I thought sharing the slideshow I made and showed at his birthday says so much. Enjoy
Levi turns one slideshow from Project Parenthood on Vimeo.
To end this post, I want to say this. Levi, thank you for making us a family of 3, for filling our hearts with even more love when it seemed full already. I feel so humble to be your mama, and I’m grateful for your forgiving and unconditional love. Happy Birthday, Pickle.
Love, Mama (Leasa)
PS. here is a gallery of photos from his birthday party this past Saturday

Oh man, this made me cry. Especially the crawling video. Go Pickle!
I cry every fricken time I watch it! The music gets me. The naked and famous song was playing on Aug 16th when we got discharged but Levi had to stay because of Jaundice, and again on Aug 23rd when we got discharged from our hospital readmit for the Jaundice.
