This is a bit of a teaser, but I didn't want to leave you ALL weekend without any birthday party pictures. I have well over one hundred to edit through, and I promise to have a full party recap up next week. For now, in honor of my newfound "less is more" attitude, I'll leave you with this sneak peak. He wore that hat for the entire party! I was so happy that he actually had fun at his first birthday party. He wasn't overwhelmed, he breezed (or should I say limboed?) right through nap time, and he smiled in his little porkpie hat until all the guests had said goodbye. I am still in shock, and a little bit of denial, that I am now the mother of a one year old. He is officially a walking, talking, independent little person. And while I'm going to miss the baby time terribly, we couldn't be having more fun, and I couldn't be more smitten.
Jude, your mama is so proud of you and so full of love for you sometimes she thinks she might explode. Thanks for being the best little man in the world. May each birthday be better than the last. I love you!
Here's hoping everyone has a beautiful weekend!
