11 months

Whoa. We almost have a one year old? Make.time.stop. Please. Starting to plan John's 1st birthday and it's all very surreal. Thinking about where I was in my pregnancy at this time last year and seeing how much John's changed since that moment I first laid eyes on him. It's hard to believe. With age comes mobility and with that mobility comes DARING BABY. We had an incident tonight while taking photos of a young boy who thought that diving head first off the rocker was a good idea. I know a lot of women who have boys that would tell me "Welcome to the rest of your life".

You might notice he's not wearing his helmet in a lot of these photos.  He has currently "outgrown" his first helmet and will be getting a new one on Wednesday.  A few more months and then we'll be helmet free!  We've definitely enjoyed our time without the helmet but come Wednesday it'll be back to 23 hours a day for this little dude!
