Happy Birthday to Our Little Boy - A Year in Photos

Today is our Dresden's FIRST Birthday.  Josh and I are so grateful for this little boy and the spirit he brings into our home.  We love him with all our heart.  He is truly special and we know he is meant for great things.  What a better way to celebrate than a montage of photos from this past year to show how much he has changed!

Two Days Old at the Hospital!

He was smiling at 3 weeks old.

Overdue Post - Dresden, Dresden, Dresden, Etc.

As many of you already know, Josh, Dresden and I are back in Utah and trying to settle in, but it seems like we have more on our plate now that we are back!  So much for a vacation (is it called a vacation when you are at home?).  So due to overwhelming demand from my (or Dresden's, so hard to keep track) fans, here is an updated post for those Dresden-aholics (You know who you are!).  (ps.  I am in a parenthesis mood today, so bear with me)

I always knew we were rich when this kid came into our lives!!

His head fits perfectly!

Sitting on a cannonball, you know, what ALL the kids are doing these days.

Who needs a pillow pet when you have a GIRAFFE?!?!?

AHHH!

Nice grass...

Only COOL babies wear 3D glasses at night

We didn't have a clean jacket for Dresden in Kansas so Josh wrapped him in a blanket.  He looks like an ice cream cone.

That foot needed at least a week to dry after this

One year going on 8

Loving the hair

We can at least get a picture of two of his 6 teeth.

Yesterday while watching his favorite show on Josh's iPad, Dresden decided to show us that he can clap and dance!  Now he claps any chance he gets.
