Monthly Picture Finale

I have to admit, I got a little emotional putting all of Ryder's monthly pictures together for his party.  Seeing how much he has grown and changed each month throughout the last year makes me a little sad.  There are days (especially here recently) where I find myself really missing the cuddly little baby boy I used to have.  That seems like forever ago... he is now on the verge of toddlerhood... into just about everything... keeping me on my toes.  It's probably a good thing that we are done with these monthly pictures, I'm not sure he would lay still for another.  Twelve times was enough for my mister mister.

Of course I had the monthly pictures on display at Ryder's party.  In fact, the how the pictures were hung at the party was probably my favorite decoration.  Which is why I can not believe that I did not get a picture of how we had it set up at the party.  Sad.  As a consolation, I hung the banner up at our house so I could snap a quick picture.  The pictures were clipped to a Rangers banner and then hung on the fireplace above where Ryder's presents went.  It was perfect... and I was so happy to get to use the pictures I worked so hard to keep up with.  I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything about the banner!
