Happy 1st Birthday A!!!

I can't believe this munchkin is ONE! Time has flown by way too quickly. It seems crazy that it was already a year ago that we were holding our new little boy for the first time!

And this weekend, we partied like crazy to celebrate his first birthday!

We started celebrating a day early by having a friend party here at our house yesterday. We invited every little friend he has, but not all of them could make it {I didn't realize what insanity I was asking for when I sent out invitations to over twenty babies! Haha!} so it was a perfect sized party with the seven friends who were able to come. I'm so grateful for my sweet friends and their cute babies for coming to support A and help make his birthday extra fun!

The party theme was Henry Hugglemonster, a Disney Junior TV show that A really enjoys. I made some decorations and served A's favorite treats: graham crackers, Ritz crackers, and baby cheeses, along with baby-sized cupcakes!

And then the kids played and played and played. We got a few good pictures of some of the kids together, but most of the shots were blurry—typical of the fast-paced action of babies moving non-stop!

And, of course, I needed to document all of the cute moms and babies that came! So we took a group photo, which all the babies were well-behaved for... except for the birthday boy!

Then today, on his actual birthday, we had a family party with his grandparents, aunts and uncles. He was, once again, extremely spoiled by all of his adoring family members!! His cousin, Oliver, loved helping him try out all of his new toys!

A also got his very own birthday cake! It was so cute to watch him play with the frosting and explore the possibilities that exist from having a whole plate of sugar at his fingertips.

Even though he could have devoured the entire cake, he loved loved picking off the decorative pieces of blue frosting and only ate little pieces at a time. And he gladly shared with anyone who requested a bite! He's the cutest little sweetheart!

I love this little boy so much and hope he had the greatest birthday a one-year-old could ever ask for!
