On August 28th Cruz turned 1. What a whirl wind of a year, I've learned so much about being a mother, Cruz has taught me to live in the moment, enjoy quality time and see each day as a new discovery. We held a party for him this past weekend and thank all our friends and family for loving Cruz as he was your own. Our cowboy spent the day eating, napping, opening presents and hanging out in the pool, and of course had his first cupcake! Cruz has been walking for about a month now and spends most of his day pointing at everything and saying "dat" which I translate as "that", not sure what he's really saying but it's cute. He plays with his toys for most of the day and has developed a fascination for books. He has about 5 heavy hitters which he practically demands every time we sit down to read, he wants to turn the page by himself, no help from mom. He still loves to give kisses to everyone, usually open mouth and if your lucky you might get some tongue! He can also comb his hair and brush his teeth, he does the motions but he's not actually doing the deed. It's so fulfilling to see him discover the world, my heart is filled with so much joy.
