Korean Baby Doll

Yesterday we celebrated and Benjamin's birthday with Seung Hwan's family. It is was a fun celebration and Seung Hwan's family was so sweet to be so excited over our kid. Here are a couple of pics of our Korean baby doll:

It's party time...

We had a great time celebrating Benjamin's first birthday. It was a beautiful day and we had some family and friends over to play in the backyard and party! It was a wagon theme... here are some pictures. Thanks to Melissa for some of the pictures.

The cake the rest of us enjoyed.

We did not take enough pictures, but thanks to all the friends who came to celebrate!

Also, we had Benjamin's one year appointment yesterday and he weighs 21 pounds 3 oz and is in the 25% for weight and is 30 1/2 inches long and is the 75% for height. Thanks to all who have prayed for his weight over the first year. This is the highest percentage we have been in!!!

What a difference a year makes...

Wow! I cannot believe I have a one year old. This year has been the best and hardest year of my life. Lots of change from being career driven to a stay at home mom. Many, many days of dying to self and getting up to serve my family when all I wanted was one more hour of sleep. But it has been worth it. I love being Benjamin's mom. Here is a look back over the last year...
