Blue's 1st Birthday Party!

 Blue had a fun first birthday party on Saturday with our family at our house! Our theme was a snowman brunch and it turned out super cute! He had fun playing with his cousins and got lots of nice gifts. He DEVOURED his cupcake and I mean he ate every single bite. ha! We had fun celebrating our sweet boy and are so glad to have the opportunity. Here's an overload of pictures from the day. :)

Since I forgot to post Blue's 11 month update, here it is! :) Blue, you've gotten so so big this month! You took your first steps this month and now are walking all over! Wow! We knew it would't be long! You love to find things to get into (like the TRASH CAN!) and play with your brother and sister. You like to eat and will squeal when you see something you want! ha! You wave at everyone and can blow kisses, too! We love you so much and are looking forward to enjoying your first Christmas! (For this one focused picture, there are 20 more that are just a blurry baby on the go! ha!)

My dearest Baby Blue, 

You are one year old! I have no idea how that happened so so fast! But, here we are a year later and you are about the sweetest thing ever! You are still such a good baby! A few things you can do are: blow kisses, sign "more", sound like a: pig, dog, and lion, WALK really fast!, CLIMB, say Mama and Bama, and give the best open mouth kisses. You like to #eatallthethings! Especially pouches, bread, yogurt melts, puffs, bananas,  yogurt, and pasta. 

You're so good at playing independently and love cars, trucks, and balls just like your big brother! You like to throw the ball and roll the cars and make car sounds. (You also like to destroy the train tracks...) Recently, you have found a great love for riding the golf cart with Tay-Tay. If you see it or even if she just comes over and you think it's outside, you point and say "uh, uh, uh" to ride it! ha! You never are still long. You're a boy on the run! You are still nursing for now but I think we'll be moving to a cup soon. A haircut is also on the horizon! ;) You slept through the night for the first time when you were 1 year and 1 day old! ha! Something magical about the birthday. Hallelujah. You love to play outside and sit on the toy tractor and four wheeler. We think it's hilarious when you do funny stuff like shake your head really fast, play peek a boo with any clothes you find, check the acoustics of a room, and dance as soon as any music comes on! 

Mrs. Lisa thinks you're a baby model, but I tell her that photo shoots are not your favorite. ha! But youvare beautiful, though. You're so tall and just today we said how you don't look and feel like a baby anymore. :( I'll post your stats after we go to the doctor for your check up. We love you to pieces, Baby Blue! Pate loves to kiss you and say, "I wuv you oh much Baby Boo!" Alabama loves to pick you up and I tell her to put you down and her response always is, "But I just love him so much!" :) We know God has great plans for your life and our prayer is that you'll serve Him all your days! We are incredibly blessed to have you and wouldn't trade a single one of these 365 days and can't wait for the many more to come! xoxoxo, Mama

Here's a fun compilation of your monthly photos! :)
