Boy is 1!

Boy turned 1 year old a couple of weeks ago.  He is awesome and also hilarious.  We had an awesome technology themed birthday party for him and he loved it.

The Birthday BOY

The Invitation
Some of my favorite things Boy did this year:

Get Born

Smile more than any child on earth ever has

Ask for Elly ("Eehh") the moment he wakes up, everytime

Wave "Hello" and "Goodbye" with his palm pointing to the sky like he's serving a plate in a restaurant

Learn how to say: Dog ("Dahhh"), Hi ("Ai"), Dada, Elly

Learn how to sign: Eat, Please, and More

Learn how to walk

Hug and Kiss us all whenever we want


Some of my NOT favorite things Boy did this year:

Spit up more than any newborn on earth

Shovel food into his mouth so quickly we had to do the baby Heimlich several times a day

Get Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease a few weeks ago

Lick the dustpan

Swallow an entire Jolly Rancher whole

Put his hands in the toilet

Dig through the garbage

Eat Children's Mentholatum


The Party:

Boy liked opening watching Elly open his presents


This was his absolute FAVORITE present- his OWN laptop! (Notice him looking around to make sure no one takes it away)


The party goers laughed out loud while watching him play with his new laptop for 20 minutes.



The TiVO remote Cake I made him; he LOVES the TiVO remote.

The obligatory eating of the cake shots


Fed some to Aunt Keri



This hat lasted for 5 seconds.

Already?!! That was fast. What a cute party. Hmm, I'm thinking he talks a lot more than Teya. She just says, "Dada". Little M is adorable. Do people think he looks like Elly?

He is such a handsome boy!! He looked so very happy with his laptop. So appropriate as he is my brother's son. I'm happy to hear that the hand, foot and mouth came much after Christmas - hopefully wasn't due to us????
