I am blown away that my baby is already a year old. I find myself already reminiscent as I look back on pictures from this past year and can't believe the enormity of the changes he's gone through. The human body and especially a baby's development in the first year of life is simply incredible. I've always known this in some capacity, but it's so different seeing it first hand in a life that was started in some small way by me.
We've had so many incredibly memories in the past few months...so many that our world has been too busy for me to keep up this blog as much as I intended and wanted to. We finished out our summer with gymnastics class, lots and lots of tomatoes from Grandma's garden, and Landon's first Rivercats game. He couldn't sit still in gymnastics class and loved every minute of it, and he spent the duration of the Rivercats game running up and down the cement walkway and the grassy hill. He wanted to have two tomatoes in his hands at all times and refused to share, even when he was frustrated at not being able to hold one and eat the other at the same time...so so stubborn.
School then started and I again had to hit the ground running. Landon's 1st birthday fell on the Wednesday night of the first week of school, and we celebrated at home with family and frog cupcakes made by Nanny. (Of course, even with just the grandparents over...three sets + great grandparents...it was a packed house.) Landon was so lucky to have Grandpa and Poppy visit for over a week. Then, we celebrated again this past weekend. Landon completely enjoyed entertaining a house full of guests and devoured more cake (icing) than he needed for a whole year. He has some really great friends who came and played with his new car and blessed him with some really great new toys and clothes. Thank you all :)
Hopefully as things begin to settle back into routine, I'll find more time to keep up with the everyday laughs and adventures of our family.
