Here are some new pictures of the little boss. Can't believe he is thirteen months old now! (These photos are unedited, I planned to edit them, but haven't had time, eh well)

A year in photos

Sappy birthday post, check! Now, time for a flashback. A year in photos of Joshua. Hard to believe how fast it's gone, and how much he's grown. Sometimes I don't notice how big he has gotten until I look back at some of the old photos of him. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

HELP!

HELP . . . me pick out Joshua's birthday shirt. Perhaps 2... I dunno. In true "you know you're a mom when..." form I am more concerned with what Joshua will wear to his first birthday bash than myself. Most likely I'll roll up forgetting I am unshowered and still wearing slippers and sweatpants (let's hope not) but, would anyone be surprised if it did? Probably not.

Anyways. Back to the task at hand. I have found a few onesies for my little birthday boy, and I need to order them soon if they are going to be here in time without me having to pay ridiculous overnight shipping fees for a shirt he will probably wear once ever.

So here are the three options I like best from what I have found. If you know of any other websites, or great "I'M ONE!" let me know!

B.

I am stumped. I am thinking two, so he can show up in one, and have one to change into if (when) he ends up with his entire cake all over him. Also I am planning to dress him in on on his actual birthday for his final monthly picture! So everyone vote! Help a Mama out! And tell your friends to come vote too :-) And to follow me while they are here... because so far there are only eight of you who read this thing, which is pretty lame :-P

Also, I opted to not get a birthday hat, or crown, or whatever, because Joshua currently detests hats. They stay on his head for about 3 seconds and that is all. If you have a child who has turned one already, did your small one have a special hat our outfit? What was it... I'm curious now.

Joshua has a photo shoot (shocker, I know)

Yesterday Joshua and I took a roadtrip to visit some of my good friends, and Joshua's newest friend, Nicholas (who is adorable, and tiny still!) A little while ago I met Rebecca Deaton of Rebecca Deaton photography, at my friend's baby shower. She is an AMAZING photographer and was nice enough to set up a makeshift studio in the house and do Joshua's (almost) one year photo shoot! I wanted to get some professional photos done to put in his photo book that is being printed as we speak. (I had a coupon to get a free one through Kodak which was about to expire... so maybe I procrastinated a bit. Big deal.)

I wanted to find him a "I'm 1" hat, or something like that, but then I realized that he probably would not keep it on his head anyways. 

So anywho, here are some of the photos from the shoot. And if you are ever searching for a fantastic photographer be sure to check her out!

I've loaded more of them on Flickr too, but made them a private so you will have to verify you are friend or family to view the set.
