Where oh where did it go??

Where oh where did that last 11 months go??  Our little boy is almost a year old already.  It hit me hard the other day.  Mike and I were heading over to his parents and we got into talking about Cole's birthday and what not, and then it hit me that on Saturday he is going to be 11 months already.  I realized that and BAM, there came the tears.  Never thought I would get emotional like that.  He's not a little baby anymore, he's getting to be such a big boy.  I am happy and I am sad all at once.

Happy because he has come a long way in this past year.  With his feet, the casts, surgery, and shoes, he has said his first words, learned to crawl and now turned his crawling into walking (and his walking into running I'm sure by his birthday!).  He has his first teeth, first smile, first boo boo, first snowmobile ride, first boat ride, and many many others!  I am very fortunate that I have been able to be home and witness all of those firsts.  I am truly blessed.

So enjoy a few pics from the past year of our little man!
