Every now and then I have the urge to look back at the last year of my life. A year that, for many reasons, you could say was the toughest so far. The only shining light through all of the stress has been Jackson Eli. He has made us smile every single day since his birth. He's made us cry a few times too!
I thought I would take all my friends on a stroll through the past year. Pardon the length, there are a lot of pictures. It's worth a peek!
1 1/2 weeks before delivery. I was on "light duty" which for me was putting my feet up during meals. Here I was eating watermelon in hopes of shedding some of my water weight.
Thanksgiving Day - Big Mama! I actually considered sending this as our Christmas card. What was I thinking? I ended up in the hospital before I was able to order those, and I'm glad!
Hours old!! In a previous post I talked about my cone-headed baby with bruises. Here he is, with a hat! This makes me want another...am I crazy?
4 weeks - New Years Eve. We had a low key night at the Storm's with all the girls and Jackson. It's a blur now due to sleep deprivation!
5 weeks - with baby acne. I don't have many pictures of him with acne. He didn't see many people either. Looking back, it wasn't that bad! Could his paci be any bigger?
3 months. He started pushing up like this around 2 1/2 months.
3 months - Favorite hat. I love this hat and these pictures. I just want to kiss him!!
4 months - with Great Grandpa Love's Naval medals. Sherry and I posed him a lot and took pictures. He was my baby doll until he got old enough to squirm away!
4 months - The good days, before he could escape the Bumbo!
5 months - Hangin' out. This seems so long ago!
6 months - sitting up. My mom and I were so excited to take these. We were amazed! This was just before he turned 6 months.
7 months - scooting around didn't last long!
8 months - I adore this picture and that outfit. I didn't think he was chubby then, but he looks it now!
9 months - Ayla and Jackson had their first pictures made together. This was fun!
Thanks for reminiscing with me. I hope you enjoyed the walk, and burned some calories at the same time!

That was a nice "walk" down your memory lane! :+} However, you make this last year seem horrible... I know it had its rough points, but all in all, there have been lots of good memories made! :+} God had been good to us, and we are all very blessed! I love ya!!! ;+]
Oh, and... I only WISH I could burn calories while reading your blog. Believe me... if I could... I'd be on it 24/7! :+] Okay, I'm off to bed...
