Wow. I know it goes fast, but wow. How is it possible that this child is one??
So, of course we had to have a little party last weekend. This one was a little different than the other first birthday parties I've thrown. Simple was the name of the game. No theme. Kid-made decorations. Ordered a cake. Done. Scot and I didn't even do gifts unless you count a crib rail cover to keep him from chewing completely through the crib. Simple.
The birthday boy provided the entertainment.
Eli's first words were "umm...seriously, Mom?"
A little help blowing out the candle.
Let the games begin!
Check this out!! Well done, baby.
Boy, do I love this little dude. :-)
And of course, bath time.
We all had a sweet birthday weekend with the grandparents.
My parents weren't feeling great on Eli's birthday weekend, so they came up a few days later. Of course, we had to reinact the cake smash. I don't even want to know how many grams of sugar this baby has had in the past few days. He didn't seem to mind too much.
More grandparent fun! I thought the kids' heads were going to explode.
Thanks to all the grandparents! And happy birthday to my absolute favorite baby. I love you and thank God for you every day, Eli!!
