Happy Birthday, Paco!

Happy Birthday, darling!

Roy and I were talking on Saturday about our sweet son's birth. It was so frightening! We went over the details of his birth and relived his sudden arrival, three weeks early via emergency c-section. You can't tell it today, at 3 years old, that he had a scary arrival into this world!

We celebrated by going to church and having our family over for the first birthday party at our new home. Paco's life-time friend, Camden, came over for the party and shared in the very hot fiesta.

I put more pictures from his party and of this photo shoot at Sears here.

I can't believe how grown up he is now. He speaks in full sentences, knows everything and learns more each day! We're fully potty-trained now but I am putting him in pull-ups at night again. It seems he "dribbles" at night and that's what wakes him to go potty. Well, it's too much work to change and wash sheets for dribbles, so we're wearing a pull-up and usually wake up dry but it eases my load and saves on laundry so pretty much a win-win for me right now.

He's still very much a snuggler on his terms, when he wants. Usually this is when I am holding/nursing Javier. Sigh. He loves napping with Mommy and she loves it, too. That has ended up being "our time" and we both enjoy it.

Here's to a great 3 years! Thanks, son, for blessing my life each and every day!
