Today is a very special day in the Hart household -- our baby boy turned one year old!!

This time last year I couldn't even dream of being here already.  This year has really just flown by!  I've always heard that you have to enjoy each and every moment because they come and go so quickly, but now I completely understand.

Of course we have taken probably about one million photos, and I can't bear to erase a single one!  I'm going to need a flash drive for every year of this child's life if I keep going at this rate :)

So here are a few snapshots into our little monkey's first year:

Hard to believe that Joshua was only one day old when this one when this shot was captured.  He was born at a very healthy 7 lbs. 4 oz. 

Only a few months later, and look how much he has changed already!  This is from our annual family vacation to North Myrtle Beach.  I've been going since I was a really little girl, and now he gets to experience it, too.

Joshua's first time in a pumpkin patch was pretty interesting.  He looked at us like we were crazy for sitting him amongst all those pumpkins.  This shot was snapped right before he decided that he did not want to be there any longer.

Christmas was especially awesome this past year.  Having a little one in the house makes Christmas time that much more magical.  And it's only going to get better and better every year.

Isn't he just the most adorable looking child you've ever seen?!  And I'm not even the slightest bit biased :)

I have so enjoyed this first year of our son's life, and I am even more excited to experience all of the rest of them!  I think this about sums it up:
