I'm a bit obsessed with this song lately.

Happy Birthday Darwin Dear....

My Little Sunshine turned 1 today. It's amazing that we've kept him alive a whole year. The only drawback to this lil guy is that he is growing up way too fast!

11 Months

Darwin is now 11 months old. Here are some things you should know.

He likes to hold a pen while he eats in his high chair. He likes to walk with his walking toy.

He doesn't mind if I do his hair like this.
He has six teeth.

Favorite food right now is bananas.

Got his first haircut last weekend because it was starting to look like this: After haircut: Has started to get shy when strangers come around. Now smiles and then ducks his head into my chest. It might get annoying one day but I love it and everyone eats it up.

He is a very good boy.

Video of the haircut coming soon.

D is for Delicious...

Someone Likes to Swing
