life in pictures

Ok, I had semi-promised to update the last 11 months of Bennett's life since I was a huge slacker on getting this blog going. Well, unfortunately the life in pictures starts when B was 6 months old, because the Apple Store wiped my computer clean of previous photos. Sad, I know. I couldn't talk to anyone about it for almost three days because I felt so robbed. However, I promise his first six months was tons of fun and he grew like a weed, just like the rest of the photos to follow. Thanks to everyone for making Bennett's first year the absolute best!

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby boy, Bennett, who will be one year old tomorrow! We love you so much :)
