From Niko's Mommy

Hi Everyone!

Niko has let me used his blog for one entry. Actually, he is sleeping right now and does not know what I am doing. I wanted to take this opportunity to share my thoughts about my little man as he is reaching his first Birthday. I may make it through this blog without crying - I doubt it though :)

I can't believe our little boy will be a year old in less than a month. Where has the time gone? Everyone has told me that they grow so quick, and it is not that I did not believe them, but I was hoping my little one would be little forever :) Okay, maybe not forever - but I wanted more time with him during his first year.

There have been so many milestones, too many to list. It was so much fun to watch him learn and experience new things in life. My mom and mother in law gave me the greatest compliment a few weeks ago. They told me that I was a really good mom. That meant SO much to me. I really try to give Niko the best life I can. Chris also does the same. Family is a very important word in our house. We will continue to provide Niko with love and care - until he is 18 - Just Kidding:). It will never stop!

My mom also told me that you love your child more and more everyday. She is so right. I have had so many moments where I think - that was cute; he's mine :) He is eleven months old and I still cannot believe my body (with some help:) ) made a human being.

I do not know if our little family is complete - I am content for now. I am very attached to Nicholas, and I have heard he is pretty attached to me. I really love our little family and we will continue to grow in our love and care for each other.
