Brooks is ONE!

My baby boy is ONE today! I can't believe it! So much has happened in the past year...and it feels like it flew by, as I knew it would. We feel so blessed to have Brooks. He is one special little boy that we adore more with each passing day. He puts a smile on my face every single morning and we thank God for the amazing gift he is. I fell in love with him the very first moment I saw him that special morning...exactly a year ago today. I am so thankful to be a mommy and feel so blessed to be Brooks' mommy!

We celebrated today by having lunch with daddy. We celebrated with family and friends on Saturday and will post pictures soon.

He was so fun to watch at his dr. appt. on Monday. He is still getting to know Dr. Evans and he makes us laugh every time. He weighs 23lb 2oz and this puts him in the 60% for weight. He is 29 3/4in and this puts him in the 50% for height.


He was helping the Dr. out as he was listening to his chest



He was being very still as his ears were getting checked out


Here's a picture of his first bandage at the doctor's! He got his toe pricked to check his blood. His numbers were a bit low, but the dr. thinks it is his inherited sickle cell trait from daddy. He just watched the nurse as she did the blood collection. Mama was nervous, but thankfully he didn't even realize what was going on. In fact, he took the opportunity in the car on the way home to take the bandaid off himself!



Today was a special day...and I will never forget the day my baby was brought into this world! Even when we are celebrating his 20th birthday, it will always be special. We want to celebrate not only the day he was born, but also the amazing gift of life. The life that God has given us, the health we have been given so that we may enjoy life to it's fullest, and the joy of friends and family to spend this wonderful life with. We love you to pieces, Brooks Matthew Miller. May you always seek after God with your whole heart and love Him more than life. You are our blessing from the Lord and we are forever thankful for you.
