Summer Fun

We are trying to enjoy a last bit of summer. Things have been a little out of the norm around here with D traveling. We were able to spend a short weekend together and decided to have some fun family time at the local pool. T is not afraid of the water at all. Which we are happy about, although we need to get those swim lessons started soon.

This had nothing to do with swimming, just a cute picture we caught of T hanging out in the dryer. T and I are getting ready for a two week trip to visit family and friends in Washington on Wednesday. While D will be off traveling for work. We will miss him when we're gone, but we are excited for our vacation.

Growing Pains

As we celebrated T's birthday, it became a very sentimental week for me. I found myself looking at old pictures. Thinking back at what life was like a year ago and contemplating all the changes that have happened since. I never thought I would find celebrating T's first birthday bitter sweet. But it kind of was for me. I can't help but be a little sad and miss my little baby. And I never thought I would say that. I didn't know how much I enjoyed this past year until now. I thought I would share a few of my favorites moments of the year. It is really hard to narrow them down...but here are some.

Oh what fun T is ONE!!!

This past week we celebrated T's first birthday! My mom flew in for the week to join the festivities. It was fun for everyone. T got lots of love from family and friends with gifts and birthday wishes. We celebrated with dinner out, presents and chocolate cake. We had a small party on Saturday with a few friends (that i forgot to take pictures of). But on his birthday it was just us and Grandma.

He was excited to eat cake. He had no idea what kind of goodness he was in for. He learned how to clap this week. Whenever some one says "Yay!", T will clap. So adorable.

After a few short seconds of getting acquainted with the blue gooey chocolate treat sitting in front of him, he began to stuff his face.

Every good chocolate cake is not complete with out some milk.

Our happy birthday boy! It is hard to believe it has been a year. It was a wonderful year watching him grow and learn new things. We are so happy to be his parents. We love him so much. Now we begin another year...and we are ready to see what fun it has in store.
We captured some video of him enjoying his cake but I am having trouble posting it. So I will try again later.
