I cannot believe that this is the last month before my little peanut is going to be a year old. It is so emotional thinking about how fast this last year has gone. I could never have imagined life being as incredible as it is today a year ago. I absolutey love this little peanut with everything in me and am so blessed to be his mama.

This last month has probably been one of the toughest yet. All within one week, right when Jase hit the ten month mark he started getting up on his knees a lot more to crawl around than his army crawl. He would crawl on his knees a short distance, and then army crawl for the longer distances. He did that for a day, and literally the next he started using his hands and knees right away! He was so fast it was like he had been doing that forever. Then the next day he started pulling up and standing on things, I am not even kidding that is how fast it happened. The week he started crawling he started rejecting his swaddle blanket for sleeping. It was like once he got moving he didn’t want to be restrained anymore. It all happened so fast I felt like I literally blinked and had to have missed something! Not only that he has been nursing less and less, so we are coming to a close in that season as well.

I was pretty emotional the week all that happened because it was like someone hit fast forward on my little man’s life and he was growing up so fast. It was also really hard to balance everything I needed to get done with him being so mobile. It was a bit stressful to be honest. And for some reason Jase has been having some serious sleep issues this month. For two weeks straight he was waking up multiple times during the night screaming and I was unable to calm him down. Then when he was sleeping through the night again, he was rejecting naps. His sleep patterns have been all over the place this month that I have been pretty exhausted! It still hasn’t completely leveled out, but I am hoping it will soon. I am pretty sure he is trying to cut FOUR teeth all at once right now, so combine that with his increasing mobility and it has just been a bit of a rough month.

Watching him grow, even though it has been so emotional, has been so rewarding too. It’s so exciting seeing him become more of a little boy. He is just growing so fast and I love watching him learn. One of my favorite things about him is he loves to worship. When we are able to sneak out of the kids area and attend a service we bring Jase with us for the worship and he will clap along and even sometimes lift his hands. I turn worship on at home and he dances while playing with his toys. His love for worship brings me so much joy and I pray that never leaves him.

I am having so much fun planning his first Birthday and getting ready for his cake smash shoot, I can’t wait to share it all on the blog. As always, here are my favorites from this month:
