Happy 1st Birthday!

Just a quick re-cap of Carter's 1st Birthday:

He rode to school facing forward like a big boy! He loved it!
While at school, they sang Happy Birthday and took him to visit the new classroom room he will be moving to in a week. When we got home, Carter got to sort all of his mail and read his Birthday cards from family and friends.


Then Carter got to try out his new red wagon {which his Mom and Dad just got around to getting in time for his birthday, even though Popsy and Gigi gave it to him at Christmas}. Again, he loved it!

After a nice dinner of chicken, kiwi and peas, Nick, Carter & I drove over to The Flying Cupcake to pick out a special birthday treat. Carter picked out the "Happy Birthday to Me" chocolate cupcake with madagascar vanilla buttercream frosting. We brought it home to celebrate {along with one each for mom and dad!}, but Carter wasn't so sure about it at first.
He decided to taste a little icing.
...and then a little cupcake.
Pretty soon it was all gone and he had to wash it down with milk!

We are so happy to celebrate Carter's 1st Birthday today. This past year has been so wonderful and amazing having him as a part of our family. We look forward to celebrating his birthday a little bit more this weekend!

Thanks to those of you who left Happy Birthday messages already {and thanks again to Emma Hensley for the B'day hat--I just altered it a little from his 1/2 birthday! :)}

Happy birthday Carter! Time goes so fast doesn't it?

I am playing catchup again after shots and new teeth in our house so...

I am glad kitty has come home!

As far as the sippy cup, Em was resistent to using hers at all after our trip to texas, so I tried a new one. She has been off the bottle...cold turkey with the Avent magic trainer cup. They are BPA free. I am glad that Carter has adjusted and you are bottle free too!

I love the elephant rocker! We have one too that you've probably seen on our blog. It makes the elephant nosie and we have taught Emily to do it. Currently we are working on "touchdown!" (hands in the air) and saying BAMA! Check in for a post late Saturady or Sunday!

Have a great weekend celebrating some more birthday time! And ROLL TIDE!

Tonight will be one of the few times we cheer for Bama. Gotta support the SEC! Corso picked Clemson, which means Bama should win.
