Christian's First Birthday!

So, my baby boy is ONE! I can hardly believe it's been a year since he came into the world. Christian has been such a joy and a blessing in our home. What an amazing little guy.

The day started off with the new adventure of facing forward in his carseat! He giggled the whole time we drove around. During naptime, I had decorated and blown up a bunch of balloons. When he got up from his nap, he "discovered" the new decor and the balloons giggled and played with the them for a 1/2 hour!

This evening, we had a little family party for him and he couldn't have been more tickled about all of the attention (and the new big-boy toys)! He loved playing on his new teeter totter with his big sister and his favorite gift of the night was a new basketball hoop that was "just his size"! He picked right up on what to do and just kept dunking them in! We tried to help him "get messy" with his cake, but he, like his sister before him, did not want to get messy. I was so sad. Oh well, the cake was delicious and he DID eat some in the the end :-).

All-in-all, it was a fantastic day and both kids had tons of fun and were extremely happy, despite being very tired! I'm just so grateful that our little family was fortunate enough to have Christian become a part of it.
