Removed him from my boob.
Lost my job. Stressed a lot.
Brady learned to walk.
He turned one.
We went on our first family trip and visited the zoo.
Played outside a lot.
Went to the pool.
Read tons of books. All of the childrens variety.
Left my baby overnight for the very first time.
He chipped his tooth.

Wondered how we made something so beautiful.
Spent our anniversary at the emergency room and a poor baby with second degree burns.
Taylor Swift concert.

Had to start leaving Brady 9 hours a day. Cried a ridiculous amount.
Felt really sick and didn’t know why.
Peed on a stick.

Doctor’s appointments and ultrasounds.
The most fun Christmas ever.
