Birthday Boy!

I can't believe you are one! This year has gone by so fast, and I have loved watching you grow, learn, and explore everything around you. You have a mind of your own and are always on the go.

Here are a few things that you love right now:

being outside.....you could be outside all day long.
cheese, grapes, pineapple, watermelon
playing in the water
being chased by mommy and daddy
climbing the stairs
looking at books and jabbering away
taking baths
exploring everything
dancing to music
playing with your food (squishing grapes, crackers etc... between your fingers.)
snuggling with your mommy before bed
being tickled
swings

Some things that you can do:

wave goodbye
walk
climb in and on everything (including the couch.)
throw balls

Your Uncle Phil was here for your birthday! You had so much with him, and he sure could get you to laugh (spinning you around and doing his beat boxing.) For your birthday we went to the splash pad, which of course you loved. Water everywhere! We then came home and you, your dad and Phil all took a big long nap. Then it was time to open your presents. You got some books, clothes, toys...all the good stuff. After that, you had your first cupcake. You weren't quite sure what to do with it at first, but it didn't take you long to figure it out. Thank goodness for baths!
I am so grateful to have you in my life. I am so lucky to be a mom to such a happy, loving boy. I am loving watching you learn new skills each day.
Love you
Mom
