Yea!!! It's my happy first birthday! Enjoy some picture from my fun day!
After sleeping in until 7:30, we all enjoyed a delicious pancake breakfast made by daddy, who was able to take the day off! Blaise got his own personal "one" pancake.
Still a little sleepy...
OK, I think I like this...
Ohh a candle!!
And I like balloons!
Mmmm...tasty! Oh yes, I love whole grains! :) (We're trying hard to expand his palate!)
After breakfast, we raced out the door and headed for the Zoo! We went straight for the Sting Ray Exhibit, which is here for a short time and free until 9:00 a.m.!
Daddy LOVED the sting rays, he was a little more excited that the bday boy:)
Blaise went to the herpeterium for the first time and saw snakes! I purposely waited to let David take him for the first time since he loves snakes so much. Not exactly mommy's favorite place. :)
Daddy being himself:)
After the Zoo, B went home and napped while mommy and daddy got ready for an evening celebration. We had plans to go play in the fountain at the garden, but the weather was overcast and called for rain.
Later that day, Uncle Paul, Mimi, Boppa, and Gma and Gpa came over to celebrate! (We missed you Aunt Sharon! And of course Matt & Becky we always miss you!)
We had a big chicken salad and fruit.
After dinner, we opened some gifts. One of Gma Susan's gift for B (but really for daddy;) Be sure to read her label on the treat:) hehehe She knows what I want for B.
Opening gifts
Playing on the car from my second cousins-thanks Colleen, Nick, Sam, Jen, Aunt Laurie & Uncle John!
Climbing in the b-day bag!
Cup Cake time!!! Yea! So I've managed to hold off on giving B sugar and white flour, and pretty much all the other additives and junk that's in so much food (except what he gets through my milk!) so I figured why start just bc he's one? ;) (Yes, I'm being a bit anal, but it's easy when he's not a big solid food eater anyway!) I used the recipe Becky make for Bella's first d-day, a delicious carrot cake, with whole wheat flour, sweetened with pineapple and honey with a cream cheese and honey icing! (Sprinkled with wheat germ!) And it was good! Seriously, it was actually quite tasty! More like a muffin, but delicious!
Awww, so excited!
Mmmm that icing is tasty!
We did allow Boppa to give him his first bite of ICE CREAM!!! He like it, at first. But when he bit into the cold he wasn't too thrilled.
The spoon is fun anyway! Yea!
The unhealthy cake that the adults ate-thanks Aunt Laurie! I ran out of icing so I had to settle with blue polka dots.
Bath time for Blaise. He did not want to go to sleep with all his favorite people still over, and boy did he cry when they said "Bye Bye." It was such an exciting and fun day! We can't believe that an entire year has passed since our sweet little Blaise was born! How incredibly fast that went!! Everyone told us it would too. What fun we have had watching him grow leaps and bounds this year! We are full of joy and gratitude, so thankful for our little boy. What a blessing from the Lord he is!
