Marcus' first birthday

Happy Birthday Marcus!!!!!

I cannot believe it has already been a year. This past week has been extremely emotional for me. I think Curtis explained it the best way possible...it's like a REALLY late post-pardum for me. It's the end of the baby year and on to the toddler years. It is definitely bitter sweet. It's just been hard for me to say goodbye to the baby chapter even though I am soo happy to say hello to Marcus' toddler years. And he sure is toddling around...the 18th was the first day he let go of my hand and started walking completely on his own. Needless to say that brought tears to my eyes. Life moves so fast, as we all know. All of this just reminds me to stay in the moment and savor it!!

Here we are getting ready to go to the Children's museum in SLO...We're diggin the fohawk
