Through the year...

All through the first year of Finnegan's life, Jon and I took pictures each month so that we could track his growth and see how much he had changed. I just hadn't uploaded them all, but here they finally are starting with me the day my contractions started (two weeks overdue, two days before Finn was born). I am at my niece's Halloween-themed birthday party. Jon thought I should go as a pumpkin...I acquiesced, but felt you really had to own such an outfit if you were going to wear it out in public. :)

10 on 10 (sort of...my first so I have 12) :)

The 1st birthday cake!

Jackie's idea; Jonny's creation.

fresh off the press--the all-important shirt

I love how this turned out. I think it needs a new place of honor in his room.

So cute!

The Hungry Caterpillar has clearly been here to make a hole in every slice!

These would not have been finished on time without Jonny's help.

The birthday boy with his crown!

The "after party" when Finn actually looked like he was having fun. He was overwhelmed and clingy most of the day at his actual party.

Dad and Finnegan post-party run around the yard to induce smiles and squeals. :)
