Chance turns One

I can't believe a year has gone by. Chance's birthday has come and gone and I don't have a baby anymore. It makes me a little sad but not too much because I am so proud of the little boy that he is becoming. He learns so much every day and it's amazing to see what he picks up on. We had a birthday party for him, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme of course! He was cutting molars so he was a little grumpy but he still had a great time! He had about 25 people at his party to support him. I made a list of some of the things I would like to remember about Chance at 12 months.
