11 months old!!! Where has this year gone!

I can't believe we only have 1 more month and our baby boy will be 1! Where has this past year gone? I know it is because this past year has been such a whirlwind for all of us. With moving, a new baby and many new changes, it seems we blinked and this year was over. He still makes us smile each day and can brighten your day when you don't think it could get any worse! We can't wait to celebrate his 1st birthday and the plans are already in the works. This next month will fly by like the rest and before we know it, Christmas will be here! We are just trying to enjoy and savour every moment! Here are some 11 month pics I took last week.

Also wanted to share this quote that I stole from facebook for all the mom's out there:

Before I was a mom. I never learned the words to a lullaby. I never thought about immunizations, I had never been puked on, pooped on, drooled on,chewed on, or peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple little grin. I never sat up for hours watching a baby sleep. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldnt stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a mom. Before I was a mom I didnt know the feeling of having my heart outside of my body.

Just Monkeying Around!

So Evan got to enjoy his 1st Halloween. He looked so cute in his Halloween costume if I do say so myself. He really enjoyed helping Daddy carve the pumpkin and digging out all the yucky stuff. At first he wasn't so sure but he warmed up to it real quick. We took him trick or treating in our neighborhood and he really racked up! There were only a few houses doing trick or treating but they loaded up Evan's bags because most of them had only had him come by so far. So Daddy and I will have lots of chocolate to eat for a while. Too bad he can't enjoy it, but Aunt Michelle, Uncle Ron and Alex brought him some Goldfish and those are his favorite. So he'll enjoy those for now. We finished Halloween night watching the Gamecocks and that didn't go so well. So we just hung out and Evan and Landen played! It was a wonderful 1st Halloween and we look forward to a lot more firsts.
