I wasn’t going to do a 13 Month update and just wait for 18 Months, but so much has happened just since he turned 1! He learned to sit himself up about a week after his birthday. It was so cute and he literally mastered it overnight, like it was the easiest thing in the…

25 Ways To Know You're Such a Mom
Someone shared this link with me pointing out that I’m totally #20 & #3. What they didn’t realize is I relate to a lot more of these than they thought! I’m sure most moms can. So I wanted to share the ones I totally get, plus add a couple of my own… 1. When you’re…

The day before, we had found out that he had a congenital heart defect and the doctors whisked him from my arms…
Things I Learned In 2011
