~HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY~

our little love turned 1 on Sept. 27th.

his first year was a

collection of moments and days knit together

in which he grew and changed in slow motion

right before our eyes.

what a baby learns from birth to 1 will always astonish me.

it started with him swaddled in his parents arms

and ended with them chasing him around the house

while he discovered the world. he climbs on anything

and everything, opens every drawer in his path,

slides off the edge of the bed while we rush to

catch him.

his momma would like to wrap him in bubble wrap

during this stage of curiosity without fear.

I was lucky to take care of him the day before his

birthday so I planned a little photo shoot to

surprise mom and dad.

*please note that this was no small feat with this very

active little boy.

: )

 i always wished for a grandchild with brown eyes and just look at these beauties.

there are also 8 little teeth hiding in there.

 and can we talk about these eyelashes?

 we all love his silly faces...

 this is my favorite of the photos~ : )

 yes, yes I did buy him a gooey, over frosted fox cookie.

you only turn 1 once right

 (and I thought it would

help trick him into sitting on this little chair for more than 3 seconds).

help!

make her stop~

so over this photo session grama.

needless to say, we adore him.

 yes I've had my camera out and ready since the day

I laid eyes on him.

can you blame me?

: ))

love you little man,

xox, your gram
