He is ONE!

Is it true? How can it be?

Wasn't this just yesterday?

How did he get so big so fast?
Regardless of the time travel that occurred somehow, we had to have a celebration.

With a monkey cake for our little man who has turned into a monkey suddenly.

This is a lot of cake for a 1 year old who has never had any cake. Don't worry! He ate it all! Plus some ice cream, and the rest of my cake. He did not disappoint!

Justice tried to help him but since her birthday is not until February her mom wouldn't let her. Don't worry Justice I'm sure Rigdon will be happy to show you the tricks in a few weeks.

Tricks like this! Didn't you know this the best way to eat Ice cream? You don't get your hands cold!

AND Don't worry about the mess, mom will come and get that later!

Remember how I said he has turned into a monkey?...

Showing off his new moves. He started taking steps the week of his birthday and on his birthday he just walked across the room. No big deal. Our life just got a whole lot crazier!

He climbs on everything! He follows Josh around everywhere. To say he LOVES him is an understatement! He has to be with him every second! He cries when we drop him off at the gym daycare, we have never experienced this before. He cries every time he walks out the door.
When Josh is sitting on the floor he will just sit by him. He doesn't leave his legs. It is so cute and annoying at the same time! Annoying to me because I thought he was going to be a mamas boy...and annoying to Josh because...well you know!
We have a tradition to let our kids pick out their own 1st birthday present. Every time I think, there is no way they will be able to do this, but then they always do. We set out like 6 things in the aisle and he carefully started at one end and touched and looked at each thing. When he got to the Woody doll, which was at the end, he turned around and got a huge grin. He then got so excited at started hitting it and laid down on it and hugged it. It was so cute. We loved watching the process of choosing.

Happy Birthday to our little man! Our little Monkey! Our little crazy boy! Our little lover! Our King Kong ( the recent name the girls have given him when he wrecks their princess castle)! Our bubs, pal and special boy! We love you!
