{12 months ago, this was the first picture we saw of our son, Oliver. he was such a beautiful baby. for a month, b and i stared at his picture. we would talk about his tiny fingers, his long lashes, his little nose and those sweet little lips. that first month, i remember us wondering what he looked like awake. a month later, we got to see those sweet little eyes open. i remember seeing this picture below for the first time and getting tears in my eyes. he was adorable. i was at work that day and called b right away. i said "Oliver's finally awake". b opened the picture and we both gushed at how cute our little guy was. each month after that, we saw one (and on a rare occasion...two pictures) of our son. we saw him grow up through these pictures...from baby to toddler. from serious to smile. from wispy hair to buzz cut and back to wispy. from a baby to a one year old. there were times where we got to see him wearing an outfit we had sent or holding a toy we had picked out for him. that was the best feeling. it was like we had a connection to him. every picture we received was compared to the last to see how much he had grown and how different he looked. it would be 7 months until we saw his first smile and hear his adorable little voice.}
{this chapter in our life is quickly coming to a close and soon very soon...the wait will be over. no more monthly picture...no more well baby check ups..no more wondering when he will be home.
it's all like a dream...someone pinch me.}

What a journey it has been..I remember looking at all of these pictures, and looking forward to this little boy coming home to our family. I'm so looking forward to meeting my great nephew!!
He is so adorable! Can't wait until this blog is full of photos of the three of you together, of Oliver in his gorgeous room, of all his play dates and fun outings around town, etc.
d, it is really hard to believe that we have been staring at photographs for a year now. i must say that i have truly missed not getting to spend this last year with him and being able to physically watch him grow, but the time for him to finally be with us is so close, and i look forward to this next year now, more than anything else, b.
seriously, he is one of the most adorable kids ever! thanks for sharing these photos all together and I am so glad that soon, SOON you will be the ones taking the photos.
