On Tuesday we had our big event, the Arkansas Business of the Year Awards. It was awesome to help plan and be apart of.


It is a 700+ dinner where we honor 30 finalists in different business and non profit categories and announce the six winners. Here are some pictures from the event-
This was one of the huge entrance arrangements being put together....

The Busy One Year Old

We have a active one year old on our hands! I wanted to do a post on his monthly stats and changes.
He is not walking but is pulling up and becoming more confident in this.
We had to lower his crib because he started standing up in it.
He is crawling and opening doors all over the house.
We had our 12 month check up and he weighed 19.06 lbs and 28 inches.
His favorite toys are balls and the stackable cups.
He has 4 teeth up top and two on the bottom.
We started drinking milk instead of formula this week.
He loves puffs and fruit.
He hates peas
We are just venturing to table food.
He says dada, mama and randomly has said yes a few times.
Loves to cuddle and be tickled and when he hears music dances.
Can kinda wave, clap his hands and high five.
He has started to get some stranger anxiety.
Boy how much he is changing all the time! We love him so much!!!

First Birthday Party

This past Saturday was Carter's first birthday and our party for him. I can't believe how fast this year went by and how much he has grown and changed.
The party went great. We had friends and family to our house with a monkey theme. Here are pictures of decorations and the party!








All his monthly pictures on the wall...

















Babies playing in all the tissue, they were having a blast...

Photos

I got a new camera for my birthday. I took a class Saturday to learn all the functions. I will hopefully take some more creative type classes in the future. I took some pictures of my muse-My son on Sunday in our front yard.

Birthday

Well I turned 30 last week. I got lots of sweet messages and texts that helped leaving my 20's behind a little better. David planned a night away in Hot Springs for us this past weekend to celebrate. I don't usually get to do much for my birthday because of my old retail job and its right after the Holidays. We stayed at the Arlington Hotel and it was so fun! They had a live band in the lobby on Saturday night where people come and dance and that proved to be very entertaining! On Sunday when we came back in town we had lunch with my family. My parents surprised me with a really nice camera so hopefully there will be some post with pictures I took on it soon!

Happy New Years!

Wow! 2012 brought so many great changes to my life! I can hardly believe all that has happened in one year! February brought us our sweet boy. He is my angel and I think he is the best baby in the world. I can't believe how much he changes and learns every week. We have also soaked up all the firsts like first Easter, first trip to Zoo, first time to go to pool, first Christmas, you get the idea...
October brought another round of changes when David and I both changed jobs. I'm so excited to be apart of the company I am with now and it was such a great change for my family. I'm so happy that David also loves his new job as well and they love having him there too!

So now I am two days away from another change...leaving my 20's behind :(
Here is to 2013 and the beginning of my thirties and all that it has in store!
