Oliver's First Birthday!

We can't believe that our little monkey is already 1!!  I have been so nostalgic lately thinking of where we were a year ago - completely in awe of the life we created but at the same time sleep deprived and completely clueless as to how to care for an infant.  The year has been a bit of a whirlwind full of the highs and lows of adjusting to parenthood.  Overall I think the lack of sleep and the numerous day care illnesses were probably the most challenging.  Conversely the amount of love we have for Oliver is immeasurable and nothing else comes close in importance.  It has been amazing watching him grow and develop into a little person with his own fun personality and opinions.  He is such a sweet, happy, friendly, independent and easy going little boy.  We feel so very blessed and he has added so much depth and love to our lives.  We celebrated his birthday with an afternoon barbeque with friends.  Here are some photos from the happy day:
