From where I'm standing

I can't believe it has been a whole year since my little tornado came into the world. He is still giving us a run for our money and putting many gray hairs...on my husband's head (not mine).  He is 17lbs 10oz and almost 29inches long. He is saying ma ma and da da and making the b sounds and just babbling up a storm. He is stubborn and oppinionated...go figure..and is trying his hardest to crawl. He is super curious and tries to grab anything that gets within his clutches especially the dog!!! He makes the best faces and has the sweetest laugh I have ever heard...it's hard to believe that this is the same baby that lay almost lifeless in the CICU a year ago. The same baby that we prayed over day and night not knowing if he was going to make it to the next day. I spent most of those early days crying to God and then yelling at Him...but here we are 1 year later. I still have my moments..especially when I'm tired..when I wonder about the future and I get overwhelmed by the present and I can't see past my tears, but I just keep believing that God is...and He has a plan for Samuel.....I mean, after all, I had 2 prior miscarriages before Sam and he's the one that hung in there so he is definitely supposed to be here and I don't know what the next day will bring let alone the next year...but I am hoping it will be an awesome one...Right now it looks pretty good from where I'm standing.
