Happy Birthday Lennox (yesterday)

He got scared when Everett screamed (excitedly)!



Here come the cupcakes!


Oooo... thanks Auntie Leah for the thermos



YUM


So I can't believe it but Lennox's first birthday was yesterday. I feel like this has been both the longest and the shortest year of my life. I remember almost every detail of counting down to his arrival, going to the hospital, waiting, waiting, waiting, holding him for hours, you know the drill. It does seem like it was just yesterday, not last year. On the other hand though, I really don't remember my life or my heart without him. He is such a HUGE part of both of them now. He is a funny boy. He is learning new things everyday. It cracks me up how laid back he is most of the time but his temper is unbelievable... not sure where that came from?! He likes to see how things work. It's funny to see him lean down on the ground and stick his head under things to see how it's working. His favorite toys right now are his balls (of course), books, stackable cups, and his stick on ducks in the bath tub. He got a Little Tykes car for his birthday and he loves it. He's not walking yet. I just knew my child was going to be an early walker. Of course, I just knew I was having a girl first too. I guess that makes you realize how much you don't "just know!" Anyway, I know he'll walk when he feels like it so I am just enjoying holding him. Above are some pictures from his pre-birthday celebration at the beach.
