Today was really much like any other day for Robert. We've slowly come to see him as the little guy with the big smile, tiny, adorable teeth, a turbo crawler with expressive eyes and an excitement for new things. He grew into this over 12 months, but I hardly saw it happening. Tiny, helpless, raisin-like, but still adorable in his newborn ways - I have to think hard to remember those days, but there hasn't been a day this year that he wasn't different than the day before.
Tonight, as he opened his present from us, a jack-in-the-box, we watched him play. He was SO adorable. Truly a joy to watch. After we played with his present for a while, I held him and told him the story of when he was born. I proceeded to cry. Over what I do not know. I could not ask for a more adorable and happy kiddo.
Take a look with me at the last year...

Happy Birthday, baby boy.
PS I simply could not eliminate any pictures from this evening's celebration. I loved them all, so there are plenty to look at in his new Age 1 gallery.

I am having a hard time believing he is one already. Where or where did the time go? Didnt you just get pregnant yesterday and send the swell news cards?
What a sweet and handsome baby! It has been a pleasure to watch him grow (like a weed!) this past year.
