Just when you think you couldn't possibly love anyone so much as you do, along comes a child that brings that love to a whole new level. I was privileged to have known her, just as anyone who loves Stan will feel too. They don't call them special for nothing. Hope to see you out and about soon and I haven't forgotten that I offered to teach you to crochet :D xx Happy 1st birthday Stan, you da man! xThe Webbers living a life at the beachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428953268605707094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076423087756460509.post-51909834075257771712015-08-05T10:49:38.187-07:002015-08-05T10:49:38.187-07:00Look at that yummy little face.

What a little rock star Stan is, he clearly chose a rocking mumma and dadda for his earthside journey. With your obvious devotion and spark in his eye, I think yiu will all be fine. Of course there will challenges along the way but you will all strengthened through it. I can relate in some part to some of the things you have touched on with our Cohen (our eldest at 6yrs old) with being diagnosed with Autism. I have always, always known there was something despite him be considered high functioning I knew, I just always knew......had a sense, just like you. It's so wonderful to hear how you're going to celebrate Stan.......you guys should celebrate yourselves while you're at it......you're doing a wonderful job.<br /><br />Happy birthday Stan I hope it's magical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076423087756460509.post-84447759284632994192015-08-05T04:30:47.433-07:002015-08-05T04:30:47.433-07:00Linda, what a wonderful post, it's really good...Linda, what a wonderful post, it's really good to see you, and to hear the story of Stan's first year. So many challenges and much sadness, it's true, but the huge love your family has for Stan shines through and make me smile. He is an adorable little boy. I can relate very much to the feeling of being more of a nurse than a mother, and how uncomfortable that is (I'm sure it affected the bond between Nina and I for a while), and the desperate difficulty of separation from a needy newborn. <br />But look at you all, getting on with it, full of hope and love, receiving fabulous support, and happy! Sending extra love to add to the supply! xxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076423087756460509.post-30943881767776438232015-08-05T02:51:23.404-07:002015-08-05T02:51:23.404-07:00awwww.. such cute photos!

I wish you all the best on this journey you and your family are on, and somehow feel you will all be just fine. Stan is a delightful little man and will thrive in your household.
