Dalton's 1 year photos (photography by Shannon Loper)

10 days until my baby is a toddler....

I am not sure exactly how I feel about this....

I am sad because he will be a big boy now. He will start walking and talking back to me...needing me less and less for daily things.

I am excited because I can't wait for him to be able to do the things that are new and adventurous...I am excited to stop having to buy formula...and hopefully someday no diapers...haha!

I am scared because as he gets more adventurous so do the boo boo's that come along with it.

But most of all I am honored to have a beautiful, amazing son that gives the greatest hugs and kisses, loves me even when he is being bad and knows just how to brighten a bad day! He is one little firecraker alright and for those of you who havent seen him in a little while photos do no justice...just wait...he is so different and amazing!

I love my little Monkey...and I cant wait for everyone to help us celebrate his big ONE!
