Time Flies

Well, my little baby turned one last week. This past weekend we had his birthday party in Indy. It was a very fun day with lots of family present. Rowan has two little cousins (each of my sister's kids) who are just a few months older and younger than him, so they played all day. It's kinda crazy for me to believe that it has been a year. Many days I fully believe that it's been a year because I feel exhausted & stressed about something. But then there are days when Rowan does something "grown up" and it makes me wonder where the time went. He has been a bundle of fun & trials all at once. As a first-time parent, I'm still learning to take things in stride, enjoy the little things and capture every moment as he changes. A big thanks to my sister for hosting and to everyone who gave Rowan gifts. Our new home will be filled with toys (hopefully neatly organized... yea right) and we can't wait to share everything with others! Here are a few pics of the weekend....

We celebrated with a jungle theme- monkey & tiger cupcakes :)

The birthday boy & me!

He has no problem eating :)

This is what Rowan did while Kyle opened all his presents.

For those who care to see Rowan walk, here's some of his first steps!
