Prestyn’s First Year Memories

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: prestyn

This post was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

You know what? I think I am still in shock that Prestyn is a year old. He is starting to become a more independent little boy and less of a baby. He is feeding himself, taking his first steps, and starting to play independently more often. I can’t believe I am going from he needs me for everything to not needing me so much. I know he will still need me for a lot of love, and comfort, but it is still sad knowing that he is now turning into a toddler.

One of my favorite things this past year was taking photos of him each month and seeing how much he grew throughout the year. It was a challenge to remember but I am so glad that I did. I think because my second son has special needs and doesn’t walk or talk I really soaked in each milestone that Prestyn met. For his first birthday, I made this video of memories from his first year and I am so in love. I can’t wait to show it to him as he grows up.

Over this first year, we tried a few different baby wipes and our favorite by far are WaterWipes. No, I am not just saying that because they sponsored my post. It is the truth. They are chemical free, and only have two ingredients, 99.9% pure Irish water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract. WaterWipes are very durable and moist. They make cleaning up all of his messes so easy. Plus they are gentle on his body.

When he was younger he would spit up ALL the time. I just wish I would have known about WaterWipes back then. It would have helped so much, I remember many times grabbing a wipe and it was bone dry. Can’t really clean up much with that.  I will continue buying these wipes long after he is potty trained. They are such a natural and wonderful way to clean up any type of mess.

I love this video from WaterWipes Moms about the first year. It is super sweet and so very true. Things go by quickly and they are definitely messy.

This is the lowest weight I have been since I got pregnant with Dustyn and he will be 18 in February. 😳Feeling amazing, so thankful for how far I have come, but would like to lose about 20 more and tone up.
