Yep you read that right. My little baby is already one year old!!!!!!!! It is so hard to believe. I still think of him as a little baby, but he is quickly turning into a big boy.
His special day started out with chocolate chip pancakes shaped like a 1. 
I decided to do a penguin themed party but like all my party ideas I ended up not going very far with the planning. I didn't make the cute invitations I had planned (people got a phone call instead) I didn't make the cute igloo cheese-ball (it would have cost $15 to make and at least 3 hours of my time, and then no one would eat it anyways. They got gold fish crackers instead, penguins eat fish, right!!?!!) I didn't do a fancy shmancy cake. Not that I didn't try, the idea was great it just didn't turn out like I had planned. I had trouble melting the chocolate to dip the Oreo cookies in, and then I had trouble with the frosting melting. Who knew I would have so much trouble with melting in one day. Oh well at least they tasted good. Two of them dropped on the trip over to the pool, and then I forgot to bring a knife to cut the big cupcake for the adults.
So now that I have told you all of the things I didn't do I don't have time to tell you all of the things I did do. For now I will just say that we had an awesome swim party with lots of family and a few friends.
Here are some of the pictures I took of Sam for his photoshoot.
I made one absolutely adorable kid. He is so happy and loves life.
We had a lot of fun taking pictures in Old Town Orange.
Here is what he is doing at One Year Old- crawls really fast (especially when the opportunity arises to do something naughty i.e. we left the bathroom door open, he wants to bug Ben when Ben is in his bed, the cabinet to the DVD player is open, we haven't opened the blinds yet, we left the front door open, Ben put down a toy that he is playing with, he finds a random sippy cup on the floor, the dish washer is open, etc.)
- Stands up but doesn't let go
- likes to lean up against people or couches
- no walking but getting really close to taking those first steps (unless you count the time the homeless guy at the park said he did it while I was taking a picture of Ben two weeks ago)
- Absolutely LOVES bugging Ben! He looks at him and then touches him waiting for Ben to yell. Or he will start doing what we call the pterodactyl scream. Ben hates it
- Loves playing with cars and tries to say the word car. It comes out as ku ku ku
- He crawls along pushing cars along the floor all day
- Usually has at least one car in his hand at all times
- Says mama and dada
- waves bye-bye
- does his version of the sign for more (he points to the middle of his open hand) Usually just does the pterodactyl scream to get what he wants.
- Does the sign for all done
- Loves to laugh, especially at his big brother
- Doesn't sleep through the night most nights. He does it about once a week.
- Still nursing
- working on switching to one nap a day
- Likes to stick his finger in my mouth when he is nursing which is WAY better than when he use to stick his finger up my nose and then start cracking up.
