August, Part 4: Celebrating Dan's First Birthday!

Happy birthday to my sweet Dan! This little guy has brought me so much happiness. He is such a sweet, good-natured, smiley guy. He has been so patient with me over the past few months as I had to pack up our old house and unpack and organize our new house. I sure love this little boy. He's crawling like a champ now and loves the freedom of being able to get around on his own rather than relying on others. Happy first birthday, Dan!

We actually celebrated Dan's birthday on August 22nd rather than the 23rd because Jeremiah had to leave on a business trip. It was kind of a crazy day because Peter had soccer practice in the evening, so we had to fit dinner, cake, ice cream, and birthday presents around Peter's soccer practice.


Above: I went simple on Dan's cake this year. I just didn't have a fancy cake in me this year.


Above: We did have cupcakes too though. I felt that the cupcakes would be easier for Dan to eat than cake.


Above: Peter decorated his own cupcake.


Above: Johnny decorated his cupcake too.



Above: Dan was not a fan of everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to him.


Above: In fact, the whole process stressed him out quite a bit.


Above: Dan wasn't quite sure what to do with his cupcake.


Above: I tried to give him some instructions, but he pretty much just bopped himself in the face with his cupcake without actually ingesting any of it.


Above: My sweet Dan didn't stay concerned for long though. This guy loves to smile and he enjoys life to the fullest.


Above: Dad was better at helping Dan figure out how to eat his cupcake than Mom was.


Above: Cupcakes are yummy, but messy!




Above: Silly Johnny.


Above: Sweet Johnny.




Above: Dan didn't eat much of his cupcake, but he sure had a lot of fun making a mess with it! 





Above: What a ham!



Above: I love this animated, handsome guy!


Above: This sweet and handsome guy needs a bath!


Above: After a quick bath to wash off all of that frosting, Dan is ready to open presents!


Above: Pete was a big help opening the presents.


Above: Everyone had a fun time practicing juggling with Dan's new balls.


Above: Dad is pretty good at it!




Above: We celebrated a little later with Nammy.




Above: What a great birthday! Dan got some really fun things and some awesome books. Yay for this sweet boy who is now one!
