Our First Birthday Boy!

When picking a birthday cake we try to make something that the person it is for loves.  With Spud's birthday approaching, Fisher suggested that the one thing that Spud loves and adores is his mom (me).  So Fisher and the girls decided to make a cake that "looks" like me.

 

Do you see the likeness?

Spud got a great birthday present for his first birthday!  His baby boy cousin was born just 9 days before his special day.  We were all so excited to welcome baby S!

We celebrated Spud's birthday with the Lovells and our good friends/neighbors the Sos.  It was an enjoyable evening.  

I can't believe how quickly our little man has grown.  I blinked and he is one!  Spud took his first steps a few weeks before his birthday and has slowly been increasing his walking ability.  He loves his sisters and is happy to play along side them.  He is the neighborhood doll and puts up with a lot of little girls hauling him around and playing house.  He is not a quiet boy... with so many noisy sisters around, he has to speak up to get his point across.  He can say a few words like "uh oh, mom, dad, and his sisters names.  We love his babbles, sound effects, and giggles.
