Going to bed an eleven month old only to wake in the morning

an ENTIRE year old! How can this be?! This year has truly flown

right by us. Judah has brought such joy into our family. 

Chloe and Autumn adore him and he returns their love right back!

We had a small celebration this past Saturday and it was perfect! Just a few friends and Adam's parents. Adam made BBQ and the girls and I made cupcakes.

 Judah was excited to touch the cake, but not to eat it.  I couldn't get a bite in his mouth...which is  oddly satisfying...like I succeeded at helping infants make healthy choices...which makes me laugh later ;)

Nana brought the BEST gift! Instruments!! A drum that holds other smaller, noisy things :)

 This is one LOVED little boy!
