LBH goes to Cincinnati and the Aquarium

Before my summer holiday ended, I made Nate take us to the Newport Aquarium.  LBH and I had been to the Louisville Zoo back in May, but Nate is not a big zoo fan so the Aquarium was a compromise.  My Mother-in-Law lives in Cincinnati so she joined us at the Aquarium.  LBH spent the day in a hiker backpack taking in the sites.  If I had to say he had a favorite part is was probably watching the Penguins.

LBH Update - One Year Old Session.

After LBH turned 1, I stopped taking a monthly picture which also means I am not as diligent about updating my collection of pictures or anecdotes.  I enjoyed my summer off with LBH and we had a visit from my Grandmother again.  We did a 1-year photo session and included GGma. Once again Falynn Dial Photography did amazing work.  We took some pictures at the Lanier Mansion where Nate & I were married, then went to the Broadway Fountain, and ended with lifestyle shots at our house.  We did a cake smash outside on the sidewalk.

Not a fan of the leprechaun hat nowadays!

Amazing Sequence that Falynn captured, the ground didn't stop LBH from enjoying his cake!

Once again, we were so pleased with the results.  Here is a flashback:

So many firsts.....

Having a baby truly has been an amazing experience.  I have thoroughly enjoyed spending so much time with LBH and watching him change and grown over the last 13 months.

Happy 1st Birthday, Little Big Head!!!!

I spend so much time on the computer and the internet, yet I forget to update this blog.  Almost 2 months ago, our bouncing baby boy turned 1!  

For LBH's birthday, it was just the three of us home all day.  I got the great idea that LBH should get his 1st hair cut.  You can see from the video how he felt about it.....

After his haircut, we enjoyed a delicious Sushi dinner!  Well, N and I enjoyed Sushi and LBH devoured the fried rice and some strawberries.

To celebrate with Family and Friends, we had a Superhero-themed pool part at our "family" farm.  I made a selection of sweet treats, the kids ran around the farm, presents were opened, swimming took place, MaMaw played some songs, and our family got a tour of the farm on a Side-by-Side Rhino.

All in all, it was a fabulous way to spend our little guy's 1st birthday!!  The icing on the cake was having my Grandmother here from England!!!!

LBH - Wrapping up the Weekly Pictures

We are getting close to the 1st Birthday Celebration for our Little Big Head, which also means our weekly photo sessions will probably end.  Since I keep forgetting  LBH hasn't been changing a lot physically throughout the week and he is so mobile, I stopped taking weekly pictures and have been taking bi-weekly shots.  Here are the most recent weekly shots:

Haha, I got the chalk!!!! 

Yummy Chalk!!!!

Bribed with the camera cord!!

For Father's Day, we drew a picture for Daddy on the board!
