the big one



well...my sweet little baby is now a one year old toddler! it is so hard to believe how fast this past year flew by. nothing has ever put a full year in to perspective until now, watching a little human develop. liam has been walking since 10 months and is now on to running, climbing, kicking and throwing balls, mimicking the everyday things we do in life like eating with a fork and spoon. wow. how quickly we adapt and conquer! poor guy still only has two front bottom teeth, but it doesn't stop him from chowing down! i haven't really found a food he doesn't like. his first birthday cake was his real first dose of sugar, and he did surprisingly well! he even napped that afternoon, which i was ready to forgo due to a prolonged sugar buzz. i think the high quality cake with good ingredients helped...no white crack sugar or lard or fd&c red #40! it was a great celebration, below are some pictures of the cake smooshing. he actually cried at the first sight of the piece of cake, but after i showed him how to attack it and got a taste to his tiny lips, he truly enjoyed himself and wore it well.
thanks to all of you who have kept up with us over the last year! we are surrounded by the most amazing friends and family and we love you all! xoxo kelly, will and liam
