Our little man turned one last week and as always it is hard to believe how quickly a year can pass. From the minute we met him on November 29, 2010 I fell head over heels in love with this little guy. He was a little squeaker in the hospital- so much so that the nurses wanted to keep a close eye on his squeaky breathing. A year later, and knowing his little mischievious personality, I think ole Pete just wanted a little extra time charming the pretty nurses. And they did of course dote over the little guy for hours on end. Over the course of the past year, I’ve begun to realize that I am in trouble. This adorable little guy, with that “trouble maker” twinkle in his eye, and rascally side smile, I fear is going to have his mommy wrapped around his finger- making it easy for him to get away with anything. Pete has an adventurous curiosity that makes you wonder what he’s up to. And we are learning, once he got to crawling and walking around that if we turn our back for more than a second, he is off looking for his next exploration. Either hightailing it to the closest unlocked cabinet, dumping out a nearby drawer or basket, or his very favorite, diving into an un-lidded toilet. The boy loves to swirl his hands in that water- yuck!
Pete adores his big sister, giving us that wonderful giggle any time she does anything to make him laugh. Just seeing the look on his face as he watches her every move makes my heart want to burst. He is a very happy little guy, and I hope that his endearing charm and natural curiosity for everything stay with him for life. I couldn’t love him more and I can’t wait to watch him as he grows.
