Somehow it's true...my baby is one. It's such a cliche, but time has simply RACED by. I swear it was just last month I first held him in my arms and tried to figure out how my heart had expanded yet again to love another little person as much as the others.
Our little sunshine Ben is a joy. He lights up the room with the most charming toothy grin. We love his hugs and kisses, his chatter, his love of ice cream, his singing, the smell of his head after a bath, his soft hands patting us. We love watching him sign "eat," "more," and "please" and hearing him say Daddy, Momma, and more.
His party was fun. He was scared to be given free rein with his cake (note the tears in the picture above) and we had to convince him it was ok to eat it. Sweet little boy.
So happy birthday, little Ben. I hope the rest of your childhood doesn't go by as quickly as this first year.

How fun! I can't believe mine is coming up on her first birthday too. It really does go by so quickly. He is so darling.
Again, sobbing. Geeze. When I called my mom bawling yesterday over this whole nursing-strike thing she said ever so sweetly with a crack in her own voice, "Jess, this is the first of MANY times that your child will pull away from you as he grows up." Our babies aren't babies for very long, are they? What a HARSH reality.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEN!
Loved the pictures! Can't wait to hear from you soon!
