We had such a fun time celebrating this little man’s big milestone. Family flew in for the event, as well as drove over six hours just to be there which we all thought was very cool and special.

We are so in love with our now “toddler” and can’t wait to share another year with him!

Happy Wednesday!

Celebrating our little man’s first birthday was much anticipated and we couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. We decided the theme for his party would be The Very Hungry Caterpillar because of the bright, bold colors and because our little man is just that; a very hungry little caterpillar!

I decided to break the party post into three parts; food, decorations and the guests and fun. So in this post you will be seeing the different treats, goodies and foods enjoyed by the guests that went along with The Very Hungry Caterpillar theme. The book includes bright, bold colors, so I tried keeping the treats the same when baking.

In The Very Hungry Caterpillar book, the caterpillar eats through various foods, seemingly never getting full. I  incorporated all of the foods in the book, each with a little sign above the food with the line from the book.

The cake! This is probably my favorite cake that I have made so far. I just loved the bright colors and how it kept in line with the story.

We also served turkey/regular burgers and chips for a more substantial meal. The Hubby and father-in-law manned the grill and they came out great!

I wish there were more leftovers that I could be snacking on now, but I suppose it’s a good sign that there wasn’t. 🙂 Check back tomorrow for Part 2 of the party post!

Happy Monday!

Baby Cal turned one last Friday.

ONE!

Already!? It’s just a little hard to take in.

I feel like I was just welcoming our little man into the world and now he’s a “toddler.” I still don’t like the sound of that.

I think I could go on a little tangent right about now, but in keeping with tradition on his monthly updates I will put that aside and carry on.

SONY DSC

Baby Cal… is a ladies man. He lights up around the females and melts their tender little hearts with his gorgeous eyes and shy smile.

SONY DSC

His favorite toy right now is undoubtedly a ball. He loves to throw balls. Any size. Any shape. He loves to put them in things and play catch. After that I would say he loves cars and trucks.

SONY DSC

He is wearing size 18 month clothing, size 4 diapers and size a 4 shoe.

SONY DSC

He is officially a full-time walker. The little man is all over the place. And when he is tired, he sucks his thumb. It’s actually getting quite raw. Anyone have a solution for that?

SONY DSC

He cuddles. Ohhhhhhhhh he cuddles. And I LOOOOOOVE it.

SONY DSC

His favorite foods are cheese, lasagna, grapes, Hawaiian sweet rolls, oatmeal, peas, soups, grilled cheese, and pretty much anything except he doesn’t really care for Cheerios or strawberry bits, though pureed is fine.

SONY DSC

He enjoys pushing chairs, laundry hampers, or anything that will move around the house.

SONY DSC

Can you resist that face?

SONY DSC

I didn’t think so.

 

No new teeth this month.

SONY DSC

The most challenging part about Cal right now is when he gets hungry, you’d better find food fast. And changing him can be difficult as well if he’d rather be doing something else.

He loves to dance! When the music is turned on he immediately shakes his groove thing.  It’s adorable and quite fun to watch.

Oh! And he LOVES to read books. He will go to the book corner, find his favorite one and drag it across the room and sit himself in my lap, handing me the book. And he will sit there, quite contently, listening to the story. This makes me melt.

Our little man turned one….

Can you tell I am still in disbelief?

We are so incredibly thankful, blessed and lucky to be parents to such a sweet, cuddly and strong little boy.

Right after these pictures were taken we decided he was ready for his first haircut. We were starting to have to tuck it behind his ears and it was doing something funky in the back, so it was time. Pictures to come tomorrow!

Happy Monday!
