i know i'm probably being rather dramatic, in my post title...but it's true.
my littlest is no longer a tiny baby.
he's 1.
1 year old.
no, i'm quite sure i was just birthing that boy (naturally, i might add) last week...how did he turn 1 so fast?
we celebrated the monkey with a paul frank/circus themed small bday party.
i'll let the pictures speak for themselves--it was fun!
the saddest part of the whole night.
he hated his smash cake.
happy birthday kohen scout!
we can't imagine what our life was like before you (although, i'm quite sure it involved a little bit more sleep--thank goodness you're cute, or i might kick you out to the curb, since you dislike sleeping through the night).
you are a perfect little anderson.
and we couldn't love you more.
