I agree with Katie—his eyes are amazing. They look they they will take everything in & be ready to tackle the world all at the same time.
Beautiful!

I started reading your blog when this little boy was only a couple months (maybe it was even weeks) old! WOW! My “baby” will be 2, TWO, T-W-O in April! My husband will be 50 in March–I told him we could have another baby to celebrate his 50th year (kidding, really) & he said something about me being a single mother if that happened! I’m excited about your project–kind of feel a wee (very wee) bit a part of it all. GO GIRL!!! I’m going to try to accomplish the pile of dirty dishes–that’s my aspiration for the day! Oh & play outside & do Legos.

Happy Birthday to your amazing one year old!
I can’t even believe he is ONE already!
HIs eyes are sooooooooooo beautiful *(so are his
big brothers), seriously, how do boys get lashes like that?! I guess they need them cause they can’t wear make up?! but STILL!
I hope you have a wonderful day with your sweet baby boy!
Oh, how I wish my girls were still one year old!
lots of love!
