First Birthday...

Happy Birthday to my Little Man!

Kicked off the day with a trip to the doctor for stats and shots. (Poor guy!)

Height: 28.5"

Weight: 21 lbs 4 ozHe was pretty tuckered out after all that fun and promptly passed out in the car. :)

That evening we had a little cake party with the Sparks family. His Auntie Kimmie had decorated. :)
Grandpa Sparks had made an Elmo cake for the celebration. This served as the birthday cake for the 2 big boys.
We all wore party hats, and Matthew actually didn't mind. He left it alone until Mom took it off to change for cake time.

Daddy made a carrot cake with red cream cheese frosting for him. We thought that it may be a little less shocking to his system since it was his first real exposure to SUGAR. He hesitated to dig in, so I had to cut him a slice and dice it up. Then it was delicious and fun!

Of course, we thought it looked like meatloaf. LoL!

After cake, he got to take a bath - I wonder why? He had opened a the little tub toy early so he could play with it while cleaning off the frosting. :)

Splashing and having a blast, just like at home...

...and he was LOVIN it!

Then he got to open a few gifts before he headed to bed. More books, cars, and the Winnie the Pooh movie.

And lastly, a reminder to the big boys of the greatest birthday gift they'd ever received...and will ever receive again!
