Yesterday, we celebrated Beauen’s 1st birthday. I loved having it on a Saturday - it made the whole day feel like a celebration! We had family over for a little party. I always worry about overwhelming him with too many people, but he was as happy as could be! He even seemed to be enjoying the attention more than usual. I sat him next to his cake, and had to hold him back a little from diving right in. As soon as the candle was out, he grabbed at a polka dot then looked at me waiting for my response. Once he realized it was okay, he continued to eat each little dot. With some help, he finally made it to the cake. YUM!!

He also enjoyed tearing the wrapping paper…he seemed to know exactly what to do! He enjoyed the paper just as much as the gifts. When we brought out his new wagon, he had to first examine the wheels (just like any male would) then he and his cousin Isaac went for a spin. They were full of smiles (although we couldn’t catch Beauen’s on camera).

Yesterday really was a perfect day. Beauen was so happy - it’s as if he sensed it was his special day. I’m still in shock he’s already one! Time seems to fly by but honestly, this past year has been the fastest one yet! It feels like yesterday when I brought him home from the hospital and now, he’s walking everywhere! I love to watch him reach each new milestone, but with each one comes the reality that he’s growing up too fast! He is such a delight in every way. I feel so blessed to be his mommy.
