It's official! I'm one year old today!

It's amazing how fast time flies.   Particularly when watching this amazing little person grow and change right before your eyes.  Andrew and I consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had this little guy pick us for parents. He puts a smile on my face every day...what more could a mom ask for?!?

As a tribute to his first year of life (thanks to Kelley for the idea!) we've been taking monthly pictures of Arjen since the beginning, in a white onesie, in the crib.  Granted, the photographer was not the best about being consistent, and the subject for sure has a mind of his own, but here's a little trip down memory lane to see the changes that bring us to today...Arjen's 1st birthday!

was he really that little?

with the xmas goat

all of a sudden he's looking like a baby boy!


and then he started smiling for real!

learning to sit with a little help from his friends

sitting on his own by 6th months!

starting to lean...getting ready to move at 7 months!

pulling up to stand at 8 months

back with his goat buddy

testing out the wing span at 10 months

had to coerce with a bottle to get any photos taken this night

back to the one month pose but now one YEAR!


couldn't resist including this one  :)
