Its my party, and I'll cry if I want to...

Well, I'm hoping there will be no crying (except for mine, inevidably, because my baby will be 1)! A will turn One Year in exactly one week. Oh my goodness! Where did the last year go?? It feels like only a couple of months ago (not days or weeks because I can walk and even run now) that I was in the hospital giving birth to him. He has grown and learned so much in the past year, I can't believe how different he is from when he was a teeny tiny baby. (Well, relatively teeny since he was never a small baby).

Here is a sneak peek into the birthday preparations. :)



Obviously, I didn't make this cake. I don't have a kid named Joseph. But this is what I am going to make his cake to look like. As closely as possible anyway.


A is enjoying his first birthday present already, thanks Grammy and Paw Paw!


I'm making his birthday banner. I made one for S's birthday, and decided to make it a family tradition.

I can't wait to update everyone on how his party goes!  I can say this, we're THRILLED that Grammy and Paw Paw are going to brave the snowy mountains to be there.

Fall in love with Fall
























We sure did!!

Now bring on the snow!

I thought...

*That toilet paper pulling was supposed to start with the terrible twos... Not when he is 10 months!



But I was wrong.






*That peppermint would be too strong of a flavor for such a young fella...

But I was wrong.

 









* That he might like to feed the geese at the park...




But I was wrong...

He wanted to chase them.

 










* That he is SO cute when he walks!!


And I was totally right!

My big boy...

...took his first BIG BOY STEPS!! I wish I had a picture (or video) of it. It was so cute though, the first time, he walked from me to S on the kitchen floor. Then the second time a few minutes later in the bedroom, I was holding his hands as he jumped up and down, then he let go and walk/jumped to S. It. Was. AWESOME!

I'm so proud of my little man. Now, I have to go baby proof my house. Uh oh!!

My Sleepy little man! I love that he sleeps with his butt in the air now. So silly.

The laundry basket keeps him contained. Best. Invention. EVER!

He LOVES being outside!!

A loves our fish tank! "Fish" is one of the words he signs now! Its so cute.



At the airport, about to meet Uncle Bill for the first time!

He didn't like it too much. But now, he loves Uncle Bill!

Started to pull himself up to stand next to the furniture. So big!

With Grandma and Grandpa at the airport...waiting.

He LOVES this monkey!! He drags it all over our apartment. Sleeps with it. Snuggles it in the car... Takes it EVERYWHERE! 

Our little tiger at the zoo!

Such a little ham. I love this boy!
