a year in the life : will 2012

children grow so quickly. as i was looking back through photos to do our year end post tears welled up. i saw all the changes through simple pictures in each of our boys and i couldn't help but single them out for the year to document growth and change in their lives. 

Will changed so much physically in 2012. he learned to walk, talk, dance, and sing. he grew longer and smarter. his development in the early years is something i have enjoyed documenting month by month but to look at it over a year span is truly incredible. to watch him grow as a little boy and learn the ins and outs has been a pleasure this year. 

 {january. trying all sorts of new foods and learning to keep up with the big boys.}

{february. blue eyes playing outside lots in the warm weather. became a lover of the sandbox!}

{march. celebrated your first birthday with family and friends. the cutest little birthday boy}

{april. began seeing your charm develop and playfulness appear all at once.}

{may. first steps on a warm spring day. we all cheered and you did it again and again}

{june. big snacker this boy of ours. still watching things from a safe distance but it won't be long before you join right in.} 

{july. soaked up every minute of our cavin family beach trip. a whole lot of silly coming out!}

{august. looking and acting like such a big boy. fitting right in with your older brother's charades.} 

{september. we watched you explore and love being near the sea shore. you pay attention to every detail and like to take it all in.}

{october. developed into your own little man. your strong will, your words, your passion show their colors in full force.}

{november. that smile. shining through so bright!}

{december. always happiest with a stick in your hand and wide open spaces.}

what a year for our littlest man! 2013 is sure to bring many more adventures.
