One Year

Dearest Grant,
On the eve of your first birthday I am flooded with emotion over the thought of my precious baby boy turning one! I have fond memories of the eve of your birth. I had the most fabulous "last meal" where I ate my heart out on a cheeseburger, french fries and banana pudding, the anticipation of what was to come was tremendous! Your Daddy and I anxiously checked into the hospital and prepared for the sleepless night ahead in anticipation of meeting you the next day. It seems like yesterday I was pacing up and down the street in our neighborhood praying that you would decide to join the world and give my ribs some much needed relief from your soccer star kicking! I also was dying to meet you, dying to see your face, dying to be your Mommy! Now, one year later, it's unanimous. You have brought so much joy into your Daddy and I's life. There is never a dull moment in the Yaeger household. You have taught us so much about life and about ourselves and also taught us to love in way we didn't think possible. Today we shall celebrate you, my little man. Grant, you are such a blessing, Happy Birthday sweet boy!
Love,
Momma

My sweet angel, you took my breath away
It's official, Grant Fitzgerald Yaeger has arrived!

Present day and on the move. Grant loves BALLS! He wakes up first thing in the morning and says "Ball, ball!"

He is also great at throwing them and juggling multiple balls at once

Grant loves the outdoors and loves to swing

My baby boy with bed head, he plays so hard in the mornings

Into everything. Literally.

Walking behind his push toys. Grant cannot be stopped!
