Today at 1:31am, Ethan turned one year old! I was up unusually late into the wee morning hours (got caught up working on some things and my "second wind" kept me going), so I popped my head into his room just after he officially turned one. Watching him sleep, I am amazed at how much my heart swells with love for this little guy-he is truly an awesome blessing and I thank God that His hand has been on Ethan since he was born. This time last year in the NICU was very scary and trying, and now he brings such joy to our family that those scary memories easily dull in comparison and fade more and more with each passing day. Here was Ethan a year ago today:


Ethan enjoyed celebrating his birthday today with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Q., and his doggie.

He opened some presents:









Hung out on the pillows and relaxed...

Clap, clap, clapped (still especially for the weather channel)!

As of late, he also frequently points to and reaches for ceiling fans:

Happy birthday, Ethan! I can barely believe that you're a year old! I am so glad you are healthy now, and that your family loves you so much. Please tell your mom that I love it when she posts these blogs :)
