Stone's First Birthday!!

Our little man has grown up TOO FAST!! Today is Stone's first birthday (and my dad's birthday, as well!! See the previous post). Stone is becoming more and more of a big boy and less and less baby every day, which makes us sad, yet gives us so much to look foward to. I love every new little stage he enters and every new little thing he learns. This lil' guy has done everything really young thus far including crawling at 6 months and walking at 8 months. I feel so blessed to be his mother. It's hard for us to remember what life was like before he graced us. It feels like he's been with us forever. :)
Last weekend, we had a birthday celebration in Ruidoso with my mom, brothers and their wives. Here are some pictures:Stone in his new sunglasses


We had little horns we blew, and Tanner blew a happy birthday to Stone through his nose.


The week prior to our trip, we taught Stone how to blow candles out. He had it down until his party came around. Maybe next year.

"Oh Mom! This is too good to be true."



"Okay, really. I can't take anymore."

I made a yummy Texas sheet cake for everyone (Charisse's recipe (my aunt)..best cake ever!)and I made Stone his own flag cake in honor of the 4th of July weekend.

Today, for his actual birthday, we went out for some yummy steaks and had the ceremonial switch of the car seats!! I guess it was more of day for us to celebrate. Afterall, he doesn't really get what's going on, and it was time for a formal celebration of one year with our baby! We love him soooo much. He has the best personality, and is a pure joy. I won't post pics of him from this last year, becaues you can scroll through my blog. My very first entry was new born pics of him. Happy birthday, Stone!! We LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday Stone! It really does get more and more fun as they get older. But the first birthday is always a sad one because you realize how fast time goes. Glad it was so fun, I didn't know he shared a birthday with your dad. That's so neat.
