Today is John’s first birthday, and part of me can’t believe we made it. He’s alive and well. This first year has been a learning time; I finally feel that I have a handle on motherhood. A small grasp at least. As I look back on the first 12 months, I realize that my timing was ok afterall – many people had opinions about how soon I should wean him, what solids to give him, what diapers to use, how to get him to go down for a nap, what to dress him in, and on and on…but as it turns out the path I took was just fine. I’m encouraged to know that I can lean on my own instinct as well as prayer and research!
Finally, finally: here are the photos from Disneyland. Enjoy!
