Happy 1st Birthday Taylor. CAKE AND PRESENTS!!

We all had such a fun birthday night for Tay-Man. Grammy, Papa and G joined us for the festivities. Avery insisted we start with presents (we let Avery open her gifts from us today, as well). Tay got new clothes (ooohhh exciting :)) and a new CamelBak (since he is always stealing ours) and some new books and toys from G, Grammy and Ashley. Avery also got lots of new books, puzzles and a harmonica (which she really wanted) and a disco ball. And then we surprised her with a new bike from G and Papa after dinner - She LOVED it and took a ride right away. She can't wait to get back on it tomorrow!! I think most of our evenings will be spent bike riding in the coming weeks!

The best part of the evening was watching Tay eat his birthday cake. He sat on my lap to start and was a little tentative and then once he dug he would NOT stop. I quickly moved him to his high chair to not get covered in frosting. He literally was shoveling fistfulls of cake and could not get enough. And then the sugar high kicked in and Avery and him were taking turns squealing at each other. We all could not stop laughing. After his bath he was still hyper and was running up and down the hall totally naked just squealing. After he worked off his energy I finally got him to sleep around 9. Such a sweet, lovey boy. I still can't believe he is 1 and I can't believe I am lucky enough to have him as my baby boy. It was a long road for us and I am grateful for little Tay every single day.

Presents!

Cake!!
