"Time" To Celebrate!

Well, surprise surprise, I am late posting again! :)
J turned ONE on the 30th, and we definitely used the excuse to celebrate!
We had a big birthday bash at a local park on Sunday the 28th to celebrate with friends and family, then had a quiet dinner with family on the 30th to celebrate.
We are so thankful for a healthy year. There is much to celebrate!
Here are just a few things:
-Adapting as a family to life with a baby, and successfully adjusting to our "new normal"
-Eating all sorts of foods and continually trying new ones. J is still a texture-nut, so some foods are definitely "off limits" in his mind. (Think gooey sticky foods.. no thanks!)
- Going from rolling over, to crawling, to pulling himself to standing on his birthday (we're now cruising around the furniture while holding on... sheesh!)
- One successful vacation to Denver to visit mom's hometown
- Welcomed many new friends into the world. He's going to be the oldest of this little gang... let's hope he sets a good example! :)
- Countless smiles, laughs, and hilarious expressions. We are so in love with you J, you make the world a lotta bit brighter!
Here are a few (okay, more than a few) pics from the party, I had a little too much fun decorating and making his cake. My friend, Ana, taught me how to make marshmallow fondant (it looks AND tastes delish!), it was really fun to make a special cake for J. He LOVES clocks, so we decided to just go with that as our theme! "Time to celebrate!"

I am ONE!

One of the fave toys from the party

A clock with all his month pics... so fun! Hanging in his room now.

He did NOT like when the clock was taken away... just to take it out of the box!

J's friend Eli, rockin' the balloon!

Birthday Breakfast! I held onto my balloons the whole time.
