1 Year Old!!

I cannot believe I am posting about my 1 YEAR OLD! No way is this possible. It still seems like it was just last week we were headed to the hospital on that late Saturday evening - fingers crossed we were going to meet our baby boy soon! Although hard to believe for some, I still remember every minute of his birth, most of the first few hours after he was born, and those first few weeks at home with our newborn. I am SO beyond blessed to be able to spend every minute of every day with him. It is definitely the greatest job I have ever had. Yes, I will admit some of the days have been long but the year has definitely been short. No two days have been the same. Our days are filled with LOTS of playtime, some snack time, exploration, hugs & kisses, story time, stroller rides & walks outside, wagon rides, swinging at the park, and lots of other toddler-fun activities!

We celebrated Parker's birthday for about a two week stretch - but hey, ya only turn 1 once!! We had a baseball themed birthday party with all of our family at our house on Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks before his actually birth date. Then, the weekend of his birthday, we got to celebrate with my side of the family in Osborne. We celebrated my Mom and Parker's birthday with cake and homemade ice cream! Yum!!

Here are some pictures of the 1 year old and Grandma celebrating their birthdays!

 

And here are pictures of the birthday boy on August 5th, 2013.

Warning - picture overload. :-)

 This is for me?!

And 30 seconds later... already lost interest!

Isn't this how everyone opens presents?

This way is even better....

15 minutes later... :-)

 

Finally!

 





Still interested in the paper.

Daddy and our 1 year old!
