Fun with Aunt Joy

I had Aunt Joy come over and take some pictures of LB to mark his first full year of life. With help from Grammy we were able to pull off some really great photos! Enjoy!

P.S. Thank you Aunt Joy and Grammy!

Guess who's 1!!

Our little Love Bug is now 1. I can't believe how quickly a WHOLE year flew by!! I spent all of February 5th remembering what a fantastic "labor" day I had and how that whole 26 hours and 16 minutes forever changed our lives for the BEST!

LB had a great birthday surrounded by a whole lot of family and friends. We had a BBQ at 11 am where we served hot dogs and hamburgers. I spent the two days leading up to LB's birthday baking and decorating an angel food cake, chocolate pound cake cupcakes and then a sour cream pound cake in the form of a tractor.

I owe a HUGE thanks to Grammy for watching LB on Thursday while I baked the cakes and Grandma for watching LB on Friday so I could decorate the cakes. Also, two more thank you's to Aunt Kissy and Aunt Michelle for their help Saturday morning!

An early treat---LB's first egg beater coated with fresh whipped cream!

My very first homemade-hand decorated cake!

Great Grandma as the wagon operator.
Mommy and the Birthday Boy!

AND NOW...Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear LB. Happy Birthday to you!

Yes, folks....LB worked his way through the cake one finger swipe and lick at a time. Clearly, he hasn't picked up on how quickly we eat here in our household.

PRESENT TIME! LB trying out his first pair of squeaky shoes

Happy Birthday LB. I love you so much! XOXO-SL

Career Day

Wow...not only in looking at the date in which I did my last blog update but also in looking at the photos I just downloaded off the camera I realize I am VERY, VERY behind in updates!

LB has been having a very difficult time cutting some teeth so he's been pretty needy over the last week or so. He's taking a much needed nap at the moment so I figured I would take this time to update things.

So....which parent has not thought about their child's future from the moment they know they are expecting? I have done this myself many of times and I will probably do so until the day I kick the bucket.

Here are a few photos I captured over the past few weeks that might hold a glimpse into my son's future.

Gangsta

Daddy and I plan on homeschooling our little bundle of love but if we didn't the high school in which he would go to for our neighborhood would surely make him a gangsta!



~OR~

Brad Pitt

Maybe he'll grow up and met a beautiful woman and adopt a bunch of gorgeous babies from various countries. On their down time from adopting they can have their own babies!

~OR~

When all else fails he can stay as my little baby boy forever and kill everyone with his puppy love!

Okay! Okay! It's kinda corny but none-the-less ADORABLE!
