Yesterday we celebrated William's first birthday. He won't actually turn 1 until Tuesday, but we decided to celebrate a little early. I don't think he really knew what was happening, but he knew that it was a good time...at least for the adults anyway : ) It's hard to believe that our little baby will be turning 1 this week. This year has just flown by! I am so thankful that God chose me to be William's mom. He is such a sweet, good-natured child, and I am so lucky that he calls me mama. This has been the most amazing year of my life, and I wouldn't trade one day of it...not even a bad one. I look forward to this second year as much as I did his first, because I know each new phase is more fun than the last! Here are some pics of his big day.

not too sure at first
but it soon became the disappearing cake
