I can't believe that in a month I will have a one year old! It's just too much for me to comprehend!! I honestly don't know how we got here?! I love this age. He is a quite a handful, but it is so fun watching him learn new things.

Yay!!! New pictures!

We had Stratton's 1 year pictures taken at Audubon Park in Memphis today (a month early so that I can put them on his birthday announcements). This is just a teaser . . . JUST got these from Daisha minutes ago! She is sending them as she edits them. She is on the road to visit some family and is working on her vacation just to get them done for me asap! Love her!! First of all, Stratton was (of course) not having a good day. (Why does that always happen??) Daisha was only about to shot for around 30 minutes before he had just had enough!! She promises she got a lot of good stuff even in that short amount of time. I was really disappointed that he wasn't his usual happy smiley, flirty self! I think he is not feeling well because he has another (#8) tooth coming in or he has a bug. He ran fever today and you could just tell he didn't feel good. Every time we got back in the car today he was immediately back asleep in mere minutes. I have So much to blog about! We had a great night with Meghan and a good day shopping, in spite of little man's fussiness.

Could he be any cuter? Even when he is sick, he is adorable!
