Gasp! Axl is 1 year old!

We decided to celebrate Axl's first year with a "Goodnight Moon" themed pajama party! The guest list grew and grew until we had invited over 50 people to celebrate with us at our new house. I felt like it was a great success and I can only hope that Axl felt just a taste of the great love and appreciation we have for him as the youngest member of our little family!

A couple of weeks before the 19th, guests received this
invitation from the AxMan in the mail
We tried desperately to get our newly moved into
house presentable for his guests!Cow and Red Balloon cupcake suckers :)

Many of Axl's family and friends joined us to celebrate!

Axl and Axl Bear...the Year in Review

I'm SO glad that we decided to take pictures of Axl with Axl Bear on the same day every month (thanks for the inspiration, Marissa!). It really allowed me to step back and actually see the changes in our little boy--He really is growing up so fast and when you're right in the thick of it, it's hard to notice some of the little things! So here is the entire year (tear) ...and LOTS of fun outtakes/bloopers at the end!
