Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Baby!!!

It is hard for me to believe that a year ago at this time I had been in the hospital for nearly 12 hours, the pitocin had been started and I was waiting on my epidural, and it would only be a few hours before we would be blessed again with another little boy. Casen Aaron arrived nearly a month early at 7lbs 7 oz and was perfectly healthy!!! He arrived with a full head of dark red, curly hair!!!



Now, a year later my blond headed boy isn't so little!!! He weighs 22 lbs 15 oz (55 %) and is 30.8 in tall (75%)!! He is an eater and loves all food. He has been walking for four months already and is a very independent little guy. His 7th tooth just broke through over night. He loves to be outside! He is busy all of the time and the only time he is still is when he is asleep, and even then he isn't that still!!!


Saturday we celebrated his birthday at our house with friends and family. It was a good time, with lots of good food (not good for my weekly weigh in) and good company!!!

His birthday Cake
(not my best work)
Casen's Pig Cake for him to dig into!

He really wasn't too interested in eating the cake!!
And then it was on to opening presents...
(sitting in his chair that HE picked out and Mimi bought him. I have to tell you, we were in Toys R Us and Casen found that chair and immediately climbed in it. We proceeded through the store picking out presents when he saw the chair again, he ran to it and climbed back in it, but this time wouldn't get out of it!!! I would get him out and pick the chair up to carry it to the checkout and he would run behind me screaming until I would set the chair back down for him to sit it!! We can honestly say, he picked it out himself!!)

Lots and lots of presents!!!

The batman 4 Wheeler from Mommy, Daddy & Bubba
(Rayden picked it out, he was sure Casen would want a Batman one)
I can cover more ground just pushing it....

Playing in the ball tent Mimi got me!!


Just hanging out, watching the kids play...
Very important conversations.... it looks serious!!

Mimi
and more talking...

Then things got crazy, it was down to the skimmies to try out some of the water toys Casen got......

Okay, I am really hoping you weren't expecting to see me in my skimmies, that might ruin your whole day!!!!
