A Year Already! Happy Birthday James

I cannot believe that our little baby is a year already!  It seems like just the other day that he was born.  The time has really flown by so fast with #2.  He is such an adorable little guy and soooo happy to be around.  He is a really good sleeper, eater, walker... we just love him.  He is starting to be able to communicate more and absolutely adores his big brother.  On his birthday, we just hung out around here, but tried to do lots of things that he loves. Here are some pictures from James's special day!

Opening presents first thing in the morning.
James really enjoyed it; almost as much as Alan did. :)
Trying out his new toys.
Alan has these same flip flops.  When we were at the store, he was pretty insistent that James should get some for his birthday as well.  They are a little big, but oh well. :)
Our new little kiddie pool that we tried out for the first time on James' birthday.
And he loved it
We also busted out the ball park for a little birthday fun!
Daddy cooked up some burgers and we had a BBQ that evening
Michael, Sarah, and Anne came to join in on the party
Lollipop cupcakes.  If you ever need the easiest idea possible... there you go.
Thankfully there were no tears shed at this 1st birthday party!  Alan even sang "Happy Birthday" to James all day long.
Starting to dig in
He would do these face plants in his cupcake, but then when he saw we were tying to take a picture of him doing it, he would get about this close and pick his head up and laugh at us.  It was pretty funny.
Here's the "I got you!" face
And these
are the happy faces
of our sweet little
one year old. 
We sure do love you sweet baby James!

  1. OH my goodness! Those are the SWEETEST pictures of James ever. So so cute. Glad you guys had so much fun :) Is it icing or whipped cream on the lollipop cupcakes. Cute idea! Cute other blog posts too :) It's easier to comment all in one place though.
