my boy is one...

i can't believe a year has gone by in this sweet boy's life. it seems like yesterday i was angry at the world that i was awake in the middle of the night in pain and not making any progress. doesn't god know that i really love my sleep? why on earth would he give me a night delivery?

this past weekend, we had finn's birthday party at my parents' house. so many of our family members were there and it was just so much fun. i decided on a monkey party, because in about july, every store had monkey party supplies in surplus. come december however, there was nothing. had it not been for my determined mother and her monkey fabric finding skills, this monkey party would have been the worst monkey party in history (because people document these things, you know). the cake was amazing and it was so sweet to watch finn eat the icing off his baby cake. just the icing. boy is this child so much like his mother. loves sleep. loves sugar. loves shiny things that light up and make noise. he's a mini me with a boy part. and i'm so proud to call him mine.
