One week.

In one week my baby will be ONE. I cannot believe it. Everyday since Valentine's day I have been thinking about last year, about how excited we were that we would have a healthy, full term baby. Waiting to meet him, to welcome him into this world. And now, he has been with us for almost one year. I have been a Mama for almost a year, and yet, I feel like I've been one all my life.

Today was a beautiful day, our first taste of spring. Owen and I snuck into the Zoo about an hour before closing time. We had the place all to ourselves and even got to see the animals eat their dinner! Afterwards we went on a walk to the library and for a little frozen yogurt.

I was so happy to spend today with baby O - just as I've been this entire year. I love to see the little boy he is becoming. I love everything about being his Mama.

 Mr. and Mrs. Lion came down right next to the window for feeding time!

 Yummy fish!

(do you see the little ear curl? I am in love with this crazy hair!)

so proud to be drinking from his cup on our walk
