Countdown

Well, we can begin the countdown to Toby's first birthday--which is unbelievable to me! That's right, he'll be turning one in less than a month. I remember the first few weeks of being a new mom, feeling quite overwhelmed, and thinking it's going to take forever to get to his first birthday. But once the shock subsides, and you get into the groove of the whole parenting thing, time starts flying by!

Toby is on the move, and is walking very well. He walks all day long around the house, and seems to only rest for meals and nap times. Here's some recent pics of our little guy. We just love him to pieces!


Toby taking driving lessons--he was thrilled to be in the driver's seat.


Toby looking at his books. He actually brings us books to read to him now--very fun.

Visiting Bee

My mom, Toby, and I went to Phoenix last week to visit Toby's Aunt Christina and Cousin Bethany (Bee). It was pretty weird to experience Halloween in 85 degree weather, but that's Phoenix! It was good to finally meet little bee in person - she was so little compared to Toby, and so adorable. I'm happy to announce that Christina, Stephen and Bethany are moving back to Portland next month! Now we won't miss out on little Bee growing up! :-)
