It's amazing how much changes in a year. A year ago, I held a little boy in my arms for the first time. He was helpless and snuggly. Today, he turned one. He's not helpless anymore…in fact, he's kind of a trouble maker. Thankfully, he is still snuggly.
I love that he is holding up his finger, telling us he's one. He has no idea what that is--he just decided that was how he was going to hold his fingers for his pictures. I'll take it.
We had a little family party for him. I made him a cute Birthday crown, which he refused to wear. (except for this picture that I took really really fast before he could rip it off his head.)
Having a stare-down with the candle.
What is it?
Looks kinda fun...
But he's not sure...
Too many presents, and too little time.
He cried because we kept swatting his hand away from the candle.
Still trying to figure this one out.
Maybe it's kinda cool.
It took a while for him to get over the whole candle thing. He yelled at his candleless cupcake for a bit. Then he grabbed it to throw it. It only took a little taste to discover that it was a mint chocolate chip ice cream cupcake, and who doesn't like that?
Yeah, it's pretty good.
We now have peace between boy and cupcake.
Happy First Birthday, Kannon! We love you, and love that you are part of our family!
