keon turns one!

i can hardly believe it, but keon turns one today! it's been a wonderful year and he is growing into a beautiful, bright and happy boy.

for those of you back home in haifa and other parts of the world who will be celebrating from a distance, here are keon's 12 monthly portraits from his first year.

these photos were taken on the 25th of each month. the first photo was taken on august 25, his actual birth day. the second was taken on september 25th, the third on october 25th and so on.

keon joon, i hope you are able to look back on this page one day and know how much joy you've already brought into our lives this first year of your precious life. you are loved so dearly by your mommy, papa, sister aliyah and so many family and friends. happy birthday keon joon. we love you!

I can't believe he's ONE and I haven't even met him. I got such a shock when I read the blog post, I thought 'HOW CAN HE BE ONE??' He's so sweet and I really look forward to meeting him one day. Congratulations to you all for being the beautiful family that you are. We miss you so much, amelia and fam

I seriously cannot believe that he is ONE! Oh my goodness - he is adorable and looks so much like Aliyah! BAWH.
Hoe you are enjoying America. Give me a call when you have a chance, I'd love to talk to you!
Have fun this weekend!
Love

Hard to believe that about a year ago, I was looking at the first pics ever taken of you, typing your name...well...not YOUR name, but a name :)
Auguri Signore Ceramico!!! and congratulations to both artists!
