My son Lucas turned one year old today. I feel kind of bad that this doesn't feel like such a major achievement, especially in light of his first few months. The amazing thing though is that the last several months have been so normal, almost like he had a normal birth. He probably weighs 4 pounds more than his big brother Jake did at his first birthday...the kid is a tank! Developmentally he's still a few months behind normal one year olds, but that's to be expected. Other than that, he's happy 95% of the time and he's an absolute joy to be with.
I can't thank you all enough for your prayers and encouragement over the past year. They have really meant a lot to us and we can't wait till Lucas is older so we can show and tell him about everything that went on.
As for prayer, all we ask for is that Lucas will catch up developmentally and that he will enjoy many more birthdays. Thank you!
