This little boy went to bed as an 11 month old baby. . .
. . . and woke up as a 1 year old!
We filled the day with all the things Nathan loves. Favorite foods, favorite activities, favorite people. We started the day of with Nathan's favorite breakfast of eggies and blueberries, followed by opening some presents.
That afternoon we had our friends come over to celebrate with a BBQ dinner and cake. We're glad so many of our friends could make it to celebrate Nathan's birthday.
After dinner we had people play a little game. There were 12 photos of Nathan and our guests had to put them order of how old Nathan was in them. We had a tie for first with 9 out of 12! Pretty good I'd say.
Nathan also got his own smash cake. I was sure he would just dig in and get so messy. However, at this point Nathan's refusal to take an afternoon nap was taking a toll on him and he burst out crying once we were done singing "Happy Birthday." He did calm down a little bit and enjoyed licking the frosting.
We're just so happy to have this little guy around. Our friends brought their little 4 weeks old boy to Nathan's party and it was amazing to see how little he once was. He's learned and grown so much in one year. Now Nathan is crawling, cruising, babbling, and making all sorts of mischief. He is the best little boy. We love him so much! Happy Birthday Nathan!

Speaking of frosting, I used this one for those of you who asked for it. Seriously the best frosting I've ever made. But I digress.
