Super Ryder turns 1



Today my  little baby boy turns 1.

1.

One!

I know! I can't believe it either. But, shockingly, it is the truth.

Has this year zoomed passed faster than the speed of light for anyone else?

At one year, Ryder is all boy.  He walks, jabbers, giggles and snuggles to his mother's delight.

And when he screams, throws fits, whines incessantly, and won't nap... he is still a blessing.
Which is the mantra I repeat over and over to myself at such times.

He is a blessing
He is a blessing
He is a blessing

And he is. Such a huge, huge, super blessing. My life is forever changed and brightened because of him and his sweet, mischievous little self.

As I was choosing pictures from the past year for this post, I couldn't decide where to leave off... which ones to leave out...
I mean, he is so cute... so smiley... surely everyone will want to see all of these...
Right?

AHEM... right?

Well, my blog...my choice.

So in honor of Super Ryder's 1st Birthday, I give you, a super long photo montage of his1st year of life.

I hope you have enjoyed him this past year, even just a smidgen as much as me.
















and tonight... we celebrate!

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!!!
