Twelve Months

Happy First Birthday Amos!

Almost One!

This past year has been tremendous.  We’ve experienced the ups and downs of parenting a newborn and we survived!  Mm and I are surprised at how fast the months have passed and we can hardly believe that our baby is almost one.  These photos make my heart smile like this photo that I posted way back and there is a joy in my heart that inexplicably did not exist before Amos.  Each photo below was taken on the tenth of every month to commemorate sweet bug’s birthday.  I’m looking forward to giving him a birthday cake to smash into but we must get through Christmas first and then the planning will begin.  Ahh, I love him.

Catch Up

Amos’ cousin Adeline celebrated her first birthday at the end of October and the family gathered together in Lexington to party down.  I can’t believe these two are only ten weeks apart in age.  Adeline got the dainty side of the Morgan genes while bug inherited the macho man Randy Savage genes from his Papa and Pap-paw but I can absolutely see a resemblance between them.  It’s fun to see the babes interacting now.  They were passing snacks back and forth this time but not necessarily passing the toys.  Above is the patch work quilt I’d been knitting since before Adeline was born.  I finally finished it and just in time for her first birthday party!

Ten Months

It’s getting harder to keep bug still while I take his picture.  The face he’s making above is telling me that he knows he’s not supposed to lean over the edge of the chair but he’s checking to see if I notice and if I’ll leap to the rescue when he decides to plunge over the edge.

I Can Hardly Remember

I’m in need of some sweetness and I don’t think I could find anything better than a flashback of this chubby bald baby.

Something I think you should read about.
