Happy First Birthday Ryan!!!!!


Happy Birthday Ryan!!!!!!!!!



It's hard to believe that it's been a year since our precious baby boy came into the world - and what a year it's been. The first few months were like a roller coaster, and even when he came home it wasn't easy. Sometimes those days of monitors and bells and whistles are so far away, sometimes it feels like yesterday. We've gone from food from an IV to eating pieces of meatballs and chicken soup; from not being able to hold him to not being able to put him down; from sponge baths by the sink that were not so enjoyable to baths in the tub and having a blast; from heart monitors to baby monitors; from leaving him at night in the NICU to leaving him for the night at Grandmom's. Ryan has come soooooo far since the night he was born. Everyday we thank God that he blessed us with our miracle. This has been an amazing year for all of us - an unforgettable one, for sure!


We are looking forward to seeing what adventures Ryan's second year brings us!
