My baby is ONE and I can't believe it. I love scrolling through pictures on my phone watching him change a little in each picture. He is definitely a toddler. It would have been so wonderful to have all of Jonathan's friends and family around for his birthday, but unfortunately for him it was just me and his dad. Ok ok, my parents were in town too. So don't feel too bad for him. And he received lots of postal love as well, so he really wasn't forgotten at all.
My one request for the occasion was a big cake in front of my baby for him to dive into. I always love watching babies make an absolute mess of themselves. And I loved watching his face as we sang "Happy Birthday" and placed the cake in front of him. It was more a look of terror than anything else ("why are these people singing AT me so loudly with party hats, overly huge smiles and fire?"). I think these pictures say it all when it comes to Jonathan's feelings about chocolate cake...

He is SO cute!!
I actually am really impressed with the cake . . . that's a lot of color separating. He really is adorable!
He is so cute Kris! And I love your cake! Darling idea. Marci will be proud. :)
Hey You.
Yep, we want to move...but, just to one neighborhood over...not even out of the Ward. We just realistically need more room in a few years. We would like to have 3 kids...and we only have 3 extra bedrooms at this point. We want a guest room because it seems like we have family in town every month. Oh well...a moving company will make it easy. I love moving. I moved a lot as a kid.
