Ezra is ONE!!

October 4, 2010 brought this little guy into our home and lives. To celebrate his advent, we had an informal little shindig with cake and of course, the cake massacre. A few friends came over to witness the carnage and much laughter ensued. Here's the Before:
"Mama, get this thing offa me!"



And After:
It all happened so fast we didn't get a good shot of Ezra with a fully intact piece of cake.



"Ooh, dis is good"



We also had a photo session with Melanie Rice to help document Ezra's first birthday. Here are a few of my favorite shots.












I had a crop a couple of them since I'm working with photos stored on my iPhone and not on the computer. The computer happens to reside in Ezra's room where he is currently sleeping. But, you get the idea. Melanie Rice is AMAZING. You may have heard that somewhere before. Perhaps on this blog.

And, Ezra? We love you more than ever. You bring smiles, giggles, and much love to your family. Jack thinks you're the greatest thing since Cheetos and he goes out of his way to make you laugh every day. After learning to walk last month, you are unstoppable. You like to wave and say "Hi" and are learning signs for 'All done' and 'milk'. Your favorite book is "Whose Nose?" and your favorite toy is anything with buttons i.e. the remote or Momma's phone. Your mom can't get enough kisses because you still have that delicious baby smell and because she knows that someday those kisses will be harder to come by. Thank you for being part of Team Acosta.
