Growing Up So Fast!

We are two months away from ending our first year with Noah. I cannot believe it! The time has gone by so quickly. As I start planning birthday party themes, first haircuts, and first trips away overnight (for me!!), I can’t help but get a little emotional. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that we had our first night in the hospital together the three of us. I stayed up, holding and looking at Noah all night with Frank asking me every hour or so, “do you want to go to sleep now?” I’ve never been one to sleep through something exciting – and this was the greatest miracle I had ever witnessed!

I can't believe that this little guy is going to be 10 months this Saturday! Here are some pictures of the progression:
