ONE!!!!!



One is So Big!!!



One year ago (plus a few days because we aren’t the most consistent bloggers & because our internet connection has been down for a ridiculously long time) our little Phineas was born. Wow. It has been such an adventure for all of us. There are all sorts of ways that we as parents can relate the experience a year of keeping a little one alive and thriving. There are all the diaper changes, the midnight feedings, the first crawl, first sounds, the tumbles, the un-explainable crying, countless books, and so on. But what has Phineas experienced? He has more than doubled his weight in one year. He started as a skinny little human shaped blob that couldn’t hold his head up and grew into a little pot bellied creature who can crawl over to a pile of books and retrieve the one you are asking for. He has gone from exclusively eating breast milk to eating birthday cake (albeit special allergy free cake – thanks to his super cool mom.) Once he could barely manage to bat at a toy, now he stacks his rings like it is no big deal. So much must be going through his active little brain to make all of these things happen. We sure love our little guy. I know that he loves us too.

You are one now so it is time to learn to ski.

We had a little party in a cabin about a quarter mile from the road for Phin's first birthday.  Here Val skis in with Phin, a box of essentials, and the laundry. 

Howl if you are one.

The morning after the party.
