Our baby C is 1 year old! How did that year fly by so fast? We had a very peaceful start to C's birthday (see previous post), and then things got a little more hectic from there.
Now when you are one, you really don't understand birthdays yet (the hoopla is really all for your siblings and your parents, and also so you have some pictures in your baby book). So you really don't care, being that you have a New Year's Day birthday, that your extended family will not come to help celebrate being that they just saw you at Christmas. You will not care if your momma doesn't get you a big balloon (because it was -18 degrees F and no one wanted to leave the house) like she got your siblings on their first birthdays. And you will not care if your birthday party doesn't actually happen on your birthday because your dadda and momma were busy with a project and you and your siblings were too crabby to celebrate it on your actual day (sister and brother cared, a lot, but they were in too much trouble to get dadda and momma to change their minds)! All you care is that your momma and dadda and your brother and sister are by you (and we always will be since it is a holiday!), and that you are fed and entertained.
who needs a birthday balloon when you have a 4 yr old sister who will decorate your high chair with leftover and clearanced Christmas ribbon!
presents!
C had no problem figuring out how to open them.
felted car and plane from Auntie C - he really liked these, and it is so funny because whenever he plays with them, he makes the same "car" noise with his mouth (as pictured!)
chewy giraffe from us, and look, C is standing! (he has been doing this for a while, but we realized this is the only picture we have of it so far!)
loved hearing us sing Happy Birthday to him (so much we did it 3 times for the giggles!)
Birthday brownies for everyone!
Ok, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to put fire in front of a 1 yr old - we quickly "helped" him blow it out.
obligatory face full of frosting on first birthday picture!
Happy Birthday little C! We all love you so much!

And that we certainly did, just on Saturday!
