Happy 1st birthday to my lil' man!

hjohn · January 2012

Or should I say big man! I can't believe it's been a year since J came out a month early! Born at 6lbs even, he stayed a week in the NICU for jaundice and learning how to eat. Struggled with jaundice and weight gain for a month after, and reflux for the first 6 months.

How things have changed! He's now my big boy weighing in at almost 22 lbs!

He crawled at 10 months, and started pulling up just a couple weeks ago. No words yet other than Mamama and Dadada (and not sure he associates them with either of us specifically). But progress! He's going at his own pace.

I haven't posted a ton here over the last year, but I've lurked almost daily and responded when I had something decent to add. Thanks to you all for sharing your stories with me, especially in the beginning when it was so very hard!
