Has it been a year already?

and here i thought i'd post like all the time...

sylas' first birthday is in 3 weeks, and i haven't thought about this time last year in quite awhile. i remember sitting around crying and reading "gifts" over and over. i remember feeling paralyzed. i remember thinking why me, what did i do to deserve this? i remember wondering what would my baby ever be able to do? and i'll tell you what... it's a year later and i have NO TIME to sit around and wonder... i have a talker, a straw-drinker, a solid food eater with 2 teeth, a roller, a squeaker, a screamer, an army-crawler, a cheerio thrower, an attention-hog and the sweetest little cooer and laugher in the world... certainly not what i thought i'd have this time a year ago. our baby is just like his big brother in every way... in fact, the only way he's different is his T-21.
