CJK: 12 MONTHS OLD!!

 

{these are actually pictures from his 1 year appointment-he was totally hamming it up with the nurses, it was so cute}

Sorry for all the baby related posts this week guys, but I'm a little late posting this so I had to get it up before he turns 13 months old! This will be Cam's last monthly update for a while (YAY! for sticking with these for the year!) because I will probably just do them every 3 months or so from here on out.

Checking into the doctors office for Cam's 12 month appointment was a feeling like none other. Bittersweet because emotions came flooding back from his very first appointment when he was a few days old, yet I was so proud at how far we (him growing/learning, our parenting) have come this year! This was also the first appointment of his where he was walking all over the place and even sat at the big boy table with chairs when waiting to be called back. Allll the emotions...

I won't go too crazy since I posted this letter to Cam on his birthday, but I will say being a mom to this kid is the best. I've loved watching his personality develop - he's such a fun loving, sweet, determined, smart, playful little boy. We're so proud!
