12 months old, we used to count the weeks, then months, now we can start counting years! Do I have to eventually say "20 months"? It muses me when I am corrected by children when they say "no I'm 4 and a half!". Well, we have a one year old! I have to say I've found myself thinking back over this past year a lot lately. Especially when I'm cradling my big boy now, gliding back and forth in the chair - I can feel him growing! The size of his head compared to how it used to look resting in my arms. His legs across my lap, I nearly crane my neck to look at his chubby feet. His heavier weight. His hair thickening up. Oh, and his hair is sure getting longer. (Do we have to cut it?) We are pleased that he still has a natural hair do. The faux hawk. The euro hawk. Whatever you want to call it, it still stands. The pic above is a full mohawk we had to have a little fun with the new lengths that have grown at the front. While cradling him I love that he looks up at me and grins - and now it's one toothy grin! He has that look of security, love, and happiness and comfort. I love our baby boy. 
Wade knew I'd appreciate that the bread he bought had Kent's birthday on it 
That's right, ONE! 
A little birthday party - we were specific to request their presence not presents!!
Kent and Wade and I are having so much fun
with new toys and things. Thanks everyone!
Soccer! 
His cousin Bobby made this card for him! 
So far we named the salamander puppet "Blaze"The iguana puppet... "Phog" got nixed - but I have another to run past Wade
it's fun for us to come up with names - it takes serious thought and consideration : )
Kent is SO into wheels and sounds a great "rrrrr" instantly
taking Blaze around 
Well the bundt was ok.... It was baked during dinner (thanks to everyone for the potluck of roast beef, m potato's, salad, scalloped corn, green beans, rolls) so when I iced it with what WAS fluffy white icing....the hypothesis was correct...turned into a "glaze" going on the warm cake. Add to that, the anti-climatic official cake devouring of an not so eager one year old who is all partied out... and the mom who made a white cake with white icing - doesn't exactly go along with the common "messy face pictures" of his peers. Hahaha - I Loved it all anyway!! Happy Birthday Kent Thomas!
Ooo two handed gobble up of the cake : ) a sixth sense for sweets (as Rach put it) 
decorations of stars and spirals were used on sunday while at Chad and Amy's
Then I put them up in our home for his actual
birthday on Tuesday January 19th.
The best gift of all was the news of the
safe arrival of Kent's newest cousin George Jameson!
He was born on January 19th!!
Hooray!! We are so thrilled! This is one sweet baby!
James and Rachael's 5th son! What a great family they are.
We can't wait to meet you George!
