One year...almost

Okay, so it's been almost a year since our blessing made his surprise appearance and we entered into parenthood.  I know, right?  On one hand, it doesn't seem so long ago.  On the other hand, time seems to have just flown by.  To be honest, I'm not really sure how I feel about it.  I'm filling out his invitations for his 1st birthday party and it seems a little surreal to me.  Could it already be almost a year?  I suppose part of what I'm feeling is disbelief; sometimes it seems to only have happened six or seven months ago, but twelve?  I was looking back at pictures of him, ranging from days old to very recently and I'm astonished how much he's changed in appearance: he starts off tiny with his newborn hair, then not much bigger with a little less hair (so blond and fine he looks almost bald), then sitting up (hair starting to grow back in), then crawling (full head of hair), pulling up (Grandpa Munster hair/wings) and now he's even more mobile and just got his first haircut.  I supposed I noticed the change from baby to less of a baby face/more that of a little boy look at a picture taken on Easter.  I noticed it even more when he got his haircut last week.  I believe that is most of what I am feeling is unsettled, but in a good sense.  I know he's still a baby but I know he's slowly growing and changing; that baby face will slowly fade and that little boy appearance will become more and more apparent.
