Lil Bean, You are 11 months old.

I'm going to use this letter to catch up with my Mamatography as we were on holiday for week 12.

Dear Ethan,

ready to swim

You my dear are really close to the end of your 1st year on Earth. I'm continually amazed with how much you change and grow. You are such a little boy now, You are losing your babyness. It hits me everytime you toddle through the flat and you are suddenly in a room you weren't before! This month was filled with lots of milestones for us. You got dedicated at church, It was such a joy for us to see the church stand up when Steve asked if they would do their best to care for you as you grow up. 

We also had our first proper Mother's day! I can't wait till you can make me a card! 

Last week, we went to Devon on holiday. It was considerably better than the trip to Wales we took when you were 4 months old. Thanks in part to lots of books, Organix snacks and Praisebaby DVDs. 

We had such a brilliant time as a family. Just what we needed. Just what I needed. Your daddy planned and booked this trip as a surprise for me. I was so overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness and it made me feel really appreciated. 

Here are a few pictures from our time away,

Our Family
