One day old

One year old

Everyone said it would happen. I KNEW it would happen, and it has happened. Jaggar, you are ONE year old today! I cannot believe it. But even more, I cannot believe the joy that you have brought into this family. I have to ashamedly say that I just didn't know if I'd like you when I was pregnant. I know, right? I mean, I had Sage, and I loved her SO much that it didn't seem possible to love anything as much as that. I even emailed a friend that had a girl first and then had a boy: Will I like him? Well, I don't. I don't just like you. I am crazy, head-over-heels, would hurt someone who hurt you, lay down my life for you, in LOVE with you! You are the sweetest boy ever. Your sister wouldn't know what to do without you. Your daddy thinks you are the coolest. God has a great and wonderful plan for your life, and we are so excited to be a part of that. Jaggar Cruiz, YOU ARE LOVED and WANTED. Happy, HAPPY Birthday, sweet boy! This life is better because you're in it!

Below, in no particular order, are some of my favorite pictures from Jaggar's first year.
