He looks so grown up here:
David found a set of these embroidery hoops, and thinks that they make the best hats:
He can't walk yet, but he sure can climb:
Being packed away with his old clothes:
Spaghetti!

Snowman

We got quite a bit of snow yesterday.

We had the cutest snowman!David trying out his new sled for the first time:

Christmas

We celebrated Christmas for a whole week. Though this was David's second Christmas, it was the first one that he was aware of what was going on.

This year we drove to Texas to spend Christmas with Robert's family. David got to spend lots of time with his G.G.Ma:David practiced pulling up a lot as well as starting to crawl on his hand and knees rather than his usual army crawl:

More presents!
He got to meet lots of second and third cousins:

More Birthday

Robert got his own birthday cake too, though he didn't make as much of a mess as David did while eating it.The Birthday Boys:

Birthday!!

We can't believe that David is already 1! This has been a really exciting year, getting to watching our little baby grow into a (almost) toddler. He has learned so much and brought so much joy to our lives.

We had some of his friends over for a birthday party on Saturday, he enjoyed all the attention, and especially the cake!

Thanksgiving

We had two Thanksgiving dinners this year. Here David is ready to eat!
