ONE YEAR OLD!!!!!!!

We made it through the first year of parenting! I still have to pinch myself to believe that I am the mommy to a one year old. It was such a joy to put together Dillan's slideshow because I got to go through all of the pictures starting from when Dillan was born. What a glorious day that was! As each month has passed by, Dillan has captured my heart more and more. He has grown into the most sweet, silly, lovable little dude. Everywhere we go he captures peoples hearts. Whether giving kisses, saying "hi" to everyone he sees, or just laughing up a storm, you can't help but fall in love with him! Dillan is talking like a little jaberwalkie (that is what Dust calls him:) He does lots of babbling and his new words are "bye" and "hot." Dillan is not quite walking yet, but gets braver everyday. His favorite new activity is going on bike rides. We got a sweet new bike seat for him and Dusty got an early father's day gift of a new bike:) So we have been cruising the neighborhood and Dillan just squeals with delight. As I reflect on this last year, my heart couldn't me more filled with gratitude. I am grateful for the gift of becoming a mom. I am grateful for the amazing love that I have with my husband Dusty and how the birth of our son brought our souls even closer than they were before. I am grateful for the journey we have been on and that Dillan was such a happy contented baby and it made our job much easier! I am also SOOO grateful for the love and support of our family and friends who have come along side us and supported us on this journey. Here are some pictures of the big 1 year old

ummm, seriously handsome!!

That's right....I am a big boy now!

I love you Mom!

What's this next year going to bring my way???
