So I noticed that I haven't blogged about B's 1st Birthday! We celebrated his birthday with a pool party. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbors came to celebrate. Grandma Moore rented a HUGE water slide that I regretfully have no pictures of. The parents had fun on it and the kids were terrified of it. The neighbor kids also loved it and surprisingly no one was hurt too badly. The only injury was our neighbor gave himself a sweet black eye. B had so much fun getting attention from everyone. He loved opening presents. He got lots of fun toys that he still plays with 3 months later. His favorite gift was a large cardboard box. Go figure. His uncle turned it into a house. It has become that favorite toy of every child that has come to our house since. B thinks he is too cool when goes in and shuts the door. He also stands at the window and talks to us. It is way cute!

Dad and I bought B a rocking cow. He recently learned how to rock it himself. He is just like a real cowboy!
Despite all the attention and despite all the toys, B's FAVORITE part of the party was eating his birthday cupcake. Here is his first experience with cake:
After he took a little taste he started shoving the cupcake in his lap. I guess he wanted to store some for later. What a cutie! I can't believe he is a year old. I love you so much baby B. You have changed my life in such a wonderful way. Thank you for everything you have taught me. I look forward to the many more life lessons and experiences we will share together! Daddy and I love you!
