Happy 1st Birthday, Zayden Pickle!!!




I cannot believe that our sweet nephew Zayden Penn is turning one today!!! Could a year have passed by that quickly? I can still remember the phone call I got one year ago today: "Mer, it's Ang...I'm heading to the hospital, my water broke.....and I don't even have my hospital bag packed." And the reason my poor sister didn't have her bags packed yet??? Zayden was making his debut over 3 weeks early. He was eager to enter the world and meet his big sister Xylie! I remember the first time I got to see Zayden in person. My sister had come home to see PapPap, who was in the hospital and since she was breastfeeding, little Z-Man had to come along too. I remember thinking that Ang had to be the bravest woman I knew. Who else would get on a plane by herself with a six week old baby? Zayden was such a calm, sweet, easy-going baby--I remember thinking as a mommy-to-be that I hoped my son would have the same temperament. (Let's not even go there, ok?) And to this day he is as sweet as can be!!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL 1st birthday, Zayden. I only wish we could be there to celebrate with you!! We love you so much!

I remember calling you because I never had a hospital birth before and didn't know how to pack my bag LOL! You weren't due for three more months but had your list prepared! :-) At this time last year, Zayden was born. 4:14 CT! Wow. Amazing how time does fly. Thanks again for posting. We love ya.
