Last night I stayed up until it was Matthew’s birthday. He didn’t fall asleep until about 11:30 and I just let him curl up in my arms and kept him until he was a year old. Smelling his hair, touching his little toes and thinking how fast a year has gone by…
After that I could not sleep so I worked on a little hat for my grandson Lewie, now 3 days old. Sometimes it all seems surreal, really. I am using some of my Brambleberry yarn stash and it feels oh so nice. I can’t wait to see it on his little face.
Today, I will be making Matthew a little cake, all his own, finish up his birthday crown and we will celebrate tonight. I may pull out his birth pool and put him in it, that would be a hoot, donchathink?
Reminder that I am giving away this sweet little baby knitting book on Friday so don’t forget to leave a comment!!
I adore that fabric with the yarn! Do you happen to have the name of it?
LOVE that last picture! I hope it was a beautiful day!
Tears came when reading this cute idea of yours staying up with him until his birthday…
I have a girl who turned 8 last week, she was born at 23h45…
When it is 'only' one year ago you're still so close to that great and moving experience…
8 years later I find myself organizing party's and preparing food and thinking and making up presents and somehow missing ways to make her feel how special she was and is to me, lifting her out her I-m-the-third-of-four position.
So thanks a lot for this great idea !
That is such a cute crown. Happy birthday to you little fellow.
Awww, sweet post. Great yarn too 🙂
Oh, my, I so wish I was a better sewer so I could make a sweet little crown for my little girl's first birthday (she still has six months to go, but I don't see my non-existant skills growing much in that time :)).
I keep going back to read this line: "and I just let him curl up in my arms and kept him until he was a year old"… I think it's the words "kept him." Happy first birthday to your darling, and birth-day to you as well :).
That was a fast year! Happy birthing day to you, and happy birthday to your LO.
Happy birthday, Matthew! 🙂
What a sweet post. I can't wait to have a little one of my own.
Babies grow up so fast!! What a sweet birthday crown, happy birthday to your little one. 🙂
awwww, happy birthday to your little guy. <3
