I'm a bit delayed in properly reflecting on the fact that the wee man is now 1 year old.
Everyone says you should cherish these years because they go by so quickly. I'll have to agree. You would think that endless sleep deprivation and various other forms of torture such as intermittent shrieking and being subjected to a barrage of crap, piss and vomit would make it seem like an eternity. But alas, it has passed in the blink of an eye.
Am I being sentimental? Absolutely. Is it because he slept until 9am this morning? You'd better freakin' believe it.
Without further ado, here's a glimpse of the evolving man over the past 12 months.

Isn't it amazing how much he has changed? And indeed, he's gained 16 lbs this year, and has gone from a tiny little man to a big strapping lad who was launching himself off the couch cushions today. Not long left of babydom I suppose. Sigh. Oh well, at least one thing has stayed the same.... his jaunty elf ears! (Now with ears that perky, why can't he hear me when I tell him not to eat rocks? A mystery for the ages!).
Thank you, Henry, for bringing an astounding amount of joy to everyone you meet, you unruly adorable endearing and infuriating beautiful little man.
Love forever,
your mommy.
p.s. just kidding about your ears, they're totes adorbs
