1st Birthday

Ayden is officially a one year old! It's so crazy how fast time has flown. I have loved every single minute of it though. Motherhood has brought me nothing but joy.

Ayden is a fantastic little boy and is learning how to do so much! It's not going to be much longer and he will be walking. It's hard for me to picture him doing that though. He's still my little baby! Ha.

Yesterday we celebrated his birthday. We went to my parents house and had hamburgers. My dad makes wonderful grilled hamburgers so we took full advantage of the weather and occasion. I of course had to take lots of pictures. It was his first birthday and all! :)

Turning One

It's hard to believe that Ayden will be turning one on Saturday. I can't help but think about where I was at a year ago today and how I was feeling. My expecting due date was on the 10th, so I was drawing very near to that, and I had just started my maternity leave from work. I was very anxious and nervous about the whole process of getting Ayden here. I was also nesting like CRAZY and I'm sure driving Michael insane! Ha.

It's been a good year for my little family though! Michael and I have picked out Ayden's birthday cake and we are very excited to celebrate. We will be doing something small but memorable with the family. I can't wait to see him eat his cake! It is Spiderman themed, which Daddy definitely helped pick out. :)

I wanted to take a couple of "one year old" pictures in case I didn't get a chance to do it either on or after his birthday. I'm hoping to take some Saturday morning. Weather...and Ayden permitted.

He got his first hair cut last Saturday which was another reason why I wanted to take some snap shots of him. It's amazing how much a hair cut can change a little boy! He is definitely turning into a little toddler and slowly but surely leaving that baby phase.

Hope to share more pictures soon!
