Andy's 1st birthday - cakes & parties!

Andy's party was last weekend; I still can't believe my baby is one. I suppose it helps that he has such little hair and is not yet walking, so I can at least pretend he's still a baby. :) I think Andy had a good time at the party. He wasn't so sure about everyone watching him as he sat down to have cake, maybe, but he did finally get into it. He completely devoured the cupcake he had on his actual birthday and then wanted mine (which I hadn't eaten yet since I was taking pictures of him eating his!), but the poor little guy only got his own.

The first photo is one that Denise Crull took at a little mini-session the day after his birthday and in the second one he's opening the present from us. It's a Fresh Beat Band CD. I know it seems like an odd gift for a 1 year old, but he LOVES the FBB and dancing to their music. Even in the car he throws his hands up and dances around in his carseat when we play it. The following photos are Andy enjoying his first cupcake!



As you can see below, he took a huge gob of cake/frosting and smashed it onto/into his nose...seconds after that he started crying, I guess because he couldn't breathe. So we wiped most of it off/out and he finished the cake. This last photo is him wanting to get down from the high chair. Throws his hands up and says, "out! Out!" He did not enjoy getting wiped down after this, but then we took him straight up for a bath and he was better.


Here are photos from the party! Thanks to Uncle Robbie for taking most of them!
