More birthday partying...

This weekend we celebrated again, but this time with my side of family. My parents made it so nice, as they always do. We had a blast. Jack also showed off his walking skills. He started walking the day after he turned 1. I'll let the pictures tell it all.

One year ago...

One year ago at this exact hour I was in the hospital waiting to give birth to my first-born. In less than 5 hours, it will be my baby's first birthday. I am so filled with emotion. I can't believe my little baby is a toddler now. There are still days I can't believe I have a son. And then I remember and am instantly filled with so much happiness. This little boy means everything to me. He has given me a purpose in life. I love him so much...

My sweet baby boy

Well, hello...

Big boy

He loves music

And likes to dance

And he loves his puppy

Exhausted and infinitely patient doggy

My darling angel

We had a great time celebrating multiple birthdays with husband's family (my hubby, sister-in-law, grandmother-in-law, Jack, nephew, and soon niece all have birthdays within days of each other).  This weekend we are celebrating with my family. This baby is getting so much love. He has brought so much happiness to us all a year ago. We love you so much, sweet babe!

My baby is almost 1 year old. I can't believe it. He is such a lovely little boy now. Just when I think it is not possible to love him any more, my heart grows a little bit more.

He is the best. My sweetie pie.

Other than being completely enthralled with my baby, I've also managed to knit a few things.

A lavender chunky cowl

Life is good.

A lovely day at home

This morning baby and I headed to work/daycare, only to find the roads covered in snow and ice. After seeing a long line of cars waiting and struggling to drive up a hill, we turned around and drove back home. And we had ourselves a fun day filled with artistic endeavors...

Snuggling with mama

Jamming on the drums with daddy

Love their identical expressions

Finger painting

Explaining art

Pretty colors

Then he crinkled the canvas

This creates a texture, he says

So pleased with his work

What a perfect day.
