Birthday Boy!

You just had such a fun birthday party with all of your friends and family. Ever since, I swear you SEEM older, too. The night before your birthday I got a little sad thinking about my little baby being one year old already! I think I was just completely overwhelmed by just how much I love you, little man. We’ve had such an amazing year together and you have made us into such a cool little family. I’m so proud of everything you’ve mastered and the sweet, fun, happy guy you’ve become. Your second year, I’m sure, will prove to be even more fun. It’s hard to see the time pass and each new iteration of you pass, too, but it’s also exciting to anticipate and appreciate each new stage.

Your birthday was at our house. I made birthday posters and we put up balloons and birthday banners and Melanie and Melinda made such good food. Aunt Jenny hired a friend of hers to make you an adorable cupcake tower with banana flavored cupcakes and you LOVED eating your first cupcake. You had green frosting up your nose and you massaged the cupcake through your fingers. You had so many presents to open and you LOVED parading around the house bopping a big red balloon over your head. You got a fire engine you can ride, and clothes, Yo Gabba Gabba toys, bath toys, trucks, a tunnel, and books. You were spoiled thoroughly.
