A year ago today I met this sweet boy.
A year.... so much has happened in this past year. At a few days old his blood tests came back that he had hemophilia. At somewhere around 8 months he had his first joint bleed. At just shy of 9 months he had surgery to get a port. How many times has he split his frenulum? I know I have lost count. This boy is trouble! I spend most of my time trying to balance keeping him safe(ish) and letting him have a normal childhood.
When they first pulled him out of me they commented on how big he was.... Ian and I didn't think he was that big... we still thought of Ezra as our baby. That quickly changed. Those first days were so sweet. I loved cuddling this little guy and how nice and calm he was. He was saving up all of his crazy for later. He is still quite the handsome little man and my heart melts just thinking about him. I can't imagine my life without him. I am so grateful he completed our family.
Currently he loves rocking out to music. He also loves clapping for
anything... probably something that started when we were potty training
Ezra. He eats like a teenaged boy, at least one of our kids will eat
anything we put in front of them. One of his favorite things to eat are
those applesauce pouches... he can down those in under a minute. He
loves pushing cars around the house... but also loves stealing whatever
toy his siblings currently are playing with. He finally has teeth. He has two that have really broken through and another two on their way. He will walk about five steps right now.... but thinks he can run. A year.... so much has happened in this past year. At a few days old his blood tests came back that he had hemophilia.

Evan has been having a tough couple days... we thought it was this nasty cold. But after a while we thought maybe it was a bleed. Pretty sure it was a bleed because after a bleed dose of factor he acted much more like his normal self. Hooray!! That meant that he really enjoyed his birthday instead of just whining all day. He enjoyed a nice messy dinner, then a bath, then cake, then a bath.... then presents. What more could a one year old ask. Eve and Ezra selected special presents for him yesterday. They wrapped them in paper towels and were so excited about them. Ezra was so excited that he opened it for him. How adorable! Sometimes siblings are just amazing. Evan closed out the night with kisses... for everybody.
