and he's one!

little o turned one this week. what a fast year! we are so grateful for this son who has been a joy to us all. he is finally crawling on all fours, pulling up, sleeping through the night, and getting into all kinds of trouble. being the fourth baby, he just tags along for all the things life requires of us. we put his crib away and homeboy sleeps in the pack-n-play all the time. we made a cake for him the day after his birthday, but the top got a little burned (that's what happens when you cook with chatty helpers!). he thought it was tasty though! we are so thankful God chose to give us this sweet boy.

he loves to observe nature with his mouth

this is the "baby prince " in his litter.  poor guy loves his naps when he can be all alone and take a break from the constant sibling stimulation.

mmm hot milk sponge cake
