James from Newborn to 1 Year

July 5, 2018

I was recently looking at a photo of David holding baby James in his hand from our newborn session with Tiffany McClure and I asked him, "do you think you could hold James like that now?" And an idea sparked... let's recreate his newborn session now that he's a big one year old! We got out my camera, the newborn basket, a few blankets, and the outfits we wore last year. It is so fun to compare the photos and see how much James has grown! He was 7 pounds at birth and now weighs 22 pounds. He was an exclusive milk baby for six months and now he eats anything and everything (grapes and pasta are his favorite!). He had a tiny head with dark, wispy hair and now he has a head full of thick, blonde hair. James used to stay in the same spot until someone moved him and now we're chasing him all over the house! It's been such a fun year and I'm so excited for all the fun to come with our TODDLER!

James’ First Birthday Party

July 3, 2018

On June 30, 2017, we welcomed our sweet son into the world! James was born at 11:41am on that beautiful summer Friday and our lives were forever changed! (Here is the blog post with his very detailed birth story.) It's been a wonderful year watching James grow and change. He has developed such a sweet, charming personality. I'm so thankful to be his Mama!! We celebrated his FIRST BIRTHDAY on Saturday with our family and a few friends in Orlando. (Local friends, Avalon has a new clubhouse that is perfect for small parties and a ballroom for bigger events!) We had an adventure themed party for our little Explorer. Thank you to my sister for the creative decorations!! James, we love you. We are proud of you and we are so glad that you're ours!!
