My Sweet Boy

Oh, this boy. He's just so much fun. Eleven months old already and I can still just stare at him all day. I'm so amazed at what God has blessed me with and motherhood remains an overwhelming and awe-inspiring endeavor. He is growing so fast and I'm filled with such joy that I'm able to be right here with him day after day to watch him grow and learn.

I've been busy planning his first birthday party - and even as I type that I still can't believe it. My goodness, how fast this year has gone by! We're having a small get-together at my parent's house in Galveston which just goes perfectly with the nautical theme of the party :) I've had so much fun planning this and making decorations. My craftiness seems to have been reawakened which is so exciting! I've been sewing banners and hot gluing nautical themed ribbons and anchors on just about anything that will stand still. I can't wait to see it all come together and I'm sure I'll have plenty of pictures to post.

And speaking of pictures - here's what we've been up to the last few weeks:

Pop and his grandbabies. This was at Ms. E's 4th birthday party. 

Too sweet.

First swim in Barton Springs!

Playing in the dirt.

Happy baby.

I'm sure he's going to just love all these bathtub pictures one day.

It's not an illusion - he really is bigger than his 4 year old cousin.

Being tortured by Aunt Sara. 

This is his new scrunchy face - it entertains me endlessly.

Lazy bones.

Eating Cheerios and cheese - yum.

I love this.
