What a difference a year makes

Last year over labor day we were praying our sweet boy would stay put inside my belly until the weekend was over….and until my doctor was back in town!

And this year we were celebrating that little boy’s birthday! It’s crazy how fast time flies. I held myself together even though my baby is growing up…..his birthday isn’t until Thursday, so he’s still technically a baby, right?

    he's always your baby 🙂 but in seriousness it's only been the last month where I really felt that Callie was more of a toddler. so you still have a few months!

    I will say yes he's still a baby because in two months when Noah turns 1 I will want him to still be a baby too! I can't wait to see more details from his party!

    He is so cute! And I love the high chair, that color is incredible! No matter what age he is, you can still call him your baby. I'm 26 and my mom still refers to me as "her baby." lol!
