the 1 year old...

yes, today is our little civil's birthday. i cannot believe it was 1 year ago (click here or here) when he was born! time seems to have flown, yet it also feels like he's been a part of this family for much longer. is it bad to admit that i originally wanted my 3rd one to be a girl?? well, thinking back on those thoughts just makes me cringe, because i can't imagine life without civil. i wouldn't trade him for the most perfect girl in the whole world. plus, i already have one of those :) we love our mr beans so much. we had a really fun day today. will be posting more about it soon. just wanted to share one of his pictures with you of today because he's just too cute. we love you civ!

ps. another shout out should go to my bestie, kristen! only fitting that i have one of my kids on your birthday. love you girl.

pps. you think my kids all look the same? well prepare to be shocked, shocked i say...click here to see some videos of civil 4 years ago :)
