First Graduation Ceremony

Today was the "graduation" ceremony from the infant class at B'nai Israel Community Day School. It truly was the cutest thing I have ever seen (the pictures will tell the story). I am quite amazed at the amount of time and dedication went into such a set-up from the teachers. I am so impressed with the outcome of the event and feel grateful that Cristian has such wonderful women watching him everyday. It is obvious that he loves me and that makes me feel great to leave him in such capable and loving hands.

A little shy at first...did not want to come to graduation

So proud of my big boy!

Two handsome men!


Trying for the family photo!

The drool adds to the outfit!


So proud of our baby room graduate!
 
 
The teachers even made a video yearbook that was too cute for words and made me tear up watching it.
 
 
Such an emotional day for me. I  can foresee many a moment such as this in my future. Such a happy mommy.

Happy Birthday to Cristian!

I have been MIA where the blog is concerned but it is not for lack of desire to post, but rather the lack of time to do so. With a more mobile Cristian comes a very busy day of chasing a toddler! A toddler! I can't believe my little man is a toddler! Where did the last year go?! I remember being in the hospital, waiting for his arrival, so vividly.

Now, here we are, one year later and our entire lives have changed. I thought I knew happiness, but I had no idea. He is my heart. It has been a year of extraordinary change, learning and love.

Thanks to wonderful Uncle Brian, we have a video documenting his first year! You can view the video here.

Want some?

What is this thing? A dinosaur shaped cake? Whaaaaaat?!

Love this little man of mine!

Anticipating the cake...
 
Family shot!
