{12 Months}

Or {One Year}, depending on how you look at it.  I, personally, am not ready for my baby to be growing up so quickly.  Watching him grow and learn to toddle, play peek-a-boo and wrestle with his big brothers confirms that my baby is no longer a baby.  Although he is officially CRAWLING on all fours and knows how to work the mouse.

We love him to pieces.  I know that he belongs in our family, and that if he was anything like his older brothers (all the energy, rambunctiousness and boisterous voices) that we'd surely be done having children...for now, I'm enjoying his calm and precious personality.  For now=a few more years.  ;)  Just in case you were wondering.  :)

I'm pretty sure the light was reflecting off our awesome
orange wood paneling wall...my baby
does NOT Have orange or red hair.  LOL!
Nothing against it, he just has blonde hair. 

Enjoy these adorable pictures, and forgive my learning curve.  :)  It was between these 18 shots and a 12 month collage...and with my awesome sinus infection, I wasn't feeling up to a "watch me grow" collage...so yeah..enjoy!


A very excited boy turned into a very timid and polite boy when we finally set him down with his birthday cake.

I had to take his hand and shove it in the cake so he felt like he could do the same on his own.  LOL!

Once it was on his feet, he wouldn't set them down.  He loved eating the frosting off his toes!

The black cloth was much cleaner than I had expected it to be...he's such a ham!
