Happy Birthday, Seth!

On this day one year ago, I was in the hospital for a very special reason; Seth Daniel Rowden was born! At 9lbs 4 oz, he was a healthy boy.


I distinctly remember the first time I touched his sweet face. Having had him by cesarean section, I only had a quick peek of him over the curtain before they took him away to the other side of the room to weigh him and clean him up a little. Once he was all burrito-d up, a nurse brought him to my head and held him close. I reached up and touched his skin; skin so soft I could barely feel it.


And now, here we are, a year later. I never cease to be amazed at how quickly these little ones change and grow their first year.

From a tiny, little limp lump...


...to an exploratory little boy with energy to spare...


...the first year can be quite a ride. But what a sweet ride it has been! Happy Birthday, dear Seth. We love you!
