levi’s first birthday

At this point my sweet little birthday boy was done.
Birthdays are exhausting!
Our friend Ian (on the right) took pictures for us. It was so nice to just enjoy these special moments with Levi and know that he was capturing them for us. He did such a great job! Ian loves photography and is trying to do more and more of it. You can check out some of his work over at Breezy Acres Farm. Thanks Ian!
