First birthday

Yup, I wrote the message…

Last Saturday was William’s first birthday.  It is unbelievable to me that he is one year old.  I can’t get over it! He has changed so much since we brought him home from the hospital and we have loved watching him grow, learn and develop.  I honestly have never been so proud of anything in my life.

If someone were to ask me to describe his personality in one word right now it would be: curious and a boy (ok, that was two words oops:-)).  Will is so intrigued by everything around him.  He loves discovering new things (and showing them to us).  He is also such a BOY! He bangs things together, loves being rough and tough, and his favorite toys right now are construction trucks.  My husband, on the other hand, would describe William as determined.  Which he is! When he decides to do or get something, he will not stop until he is successful.  So, we have a curious, determined one year old boy! And we are so in love with him.

Here is how we celebrated his one year of life:

Instead of having a party, we went to the Denver Zoo! It was such a fun outing that ended with opening presents and some birthday cake!
