This Valentine's Day held some special memories for Scott and I since today (actually two days ago) was exactly one year from the day we found out we were pregnant. It seemed so surreal--me? Having a baby? Other people had babies, not me. It was a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Now today, I hold my baby and am amazed at how quickly life changes. While pregnant, it felt like forever before I'd be able to meet and hold my baby and now that seems a distant memory.
Joanna, our nanny, had no idea about our Valentine's Day story, but she made it special for us by presenting us with a gift "from Blake to Mommy & Daddy." It was a beautiful picture that she had taken of our little boy! It is 11"x16" framed black and white photo, with his shirt in color. The glass has a glare, so it was quite hard to get a picture without any reflection, but here it is:

I was tickled pink to get it. I believe Joanna does some photography on the side, and it appears she does a great job! I don't think I've taken this good of a photo of Blake yet! Sadly, this is the first nice framed picture of Blake. We have some cute pictures, but I didn't have a frame for the size we purchased and have not yet shopped for one. I tend to shop only for necessities now...I don't like to make Blake go shopping :)
Here's a couple recent pictures just for kicks. :)
