happy 1st birthday, sawyer!

i can't believe he's 1.

here is a picture from each month of his life so far.
it's amazing how much they change this first year!
{i had to include 1 picture of him sad...to remember those couple months...}

i can't really remember life without him.
well, i can remember him in my belly...but it seems like he's always been a part of our family.

he is SUCH a happy baby {except for those couple months where he cried all the time}
but these days he's SO happy.
loves to eat.
loves balls.
loves being outside.
loves his daddy and brother and sisters.
loves people.
loves animals...especially dogs.
can communicate a LOT without talking.

i love kissing him...everywhere.
his skin is so soft.
i love his smile.
i love how excited he gets when he sees a ball.
i love that he sleeps so well.
i love how he crawls with 1 knee up when he's outside.
i love his feet
i love his pudgy little hands...and legs... {pretty much i could just list each body part...}
i love his laugh.

sawyer...i love you and am so thankful you're my son.

happy birthday!

{by the way...the circle part of his shirt is from this shirt that he wore as a newborn :-) fun, huh??}
