We cannot believe our sweet baby boy is already one year old!  He truly is the best "baby" anyone could ask for.  He sleeps near perfectly, and rarely fusses unless he is hungry or tired; although he is gaining more independence and expressing his opinions more lately!  Shane and I often find ourselves laughing, smiling and just watching our active little man who is learning so much these days.  We truly cannot imagine our lives without Matthew, and his sweet entergetic skinny self.  I am reminded of  Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  God's plans are so much greater than anything we can imagine, and I am beyond thankful His plans included blessing us with Matthew Allen one year ago!
