Gabriella came straight into our room as soon as she woke up and immediately informed us that it was your birthday! She crawled right up onto the bed where you were lying next to me, to wake you. She didn't care one bit if you weren't quite ready to greet the day. She was just so excited to love on you. She tickled your face with her hair and sweetly said Happy Birthday until you surrendered and opened those tiny little eyes of yours.
You weren't too happy about the abrupt good morning wake up but you eventually forgave her and got over it. :)
We decided on a 4 pm birthday party so that we'd have time to travel home from church, eat lunch and get everyone in beds for naps.
You typically take your second nap about 2:30ish but today you weren't having it, you were just so full of energy. Your extra little snooze at church must have thrown you off. I tried to lay you down again about 3:30ish but still, too excited. You had to have know your party was soon to begin. :) I tried to warn you and let you know that a nap was necessary to avoid birthday day crankiness but you didn't seem worried.
Party time arrived and we enjoyed a wonderful time with family and friends who all came to show you just how much they love you. You are such a loved little boy!
Your birthday menu consisted of vegetables, chips, cheesy chicken pasta, green beans, rolls and birthday cake. Your favorite part of the meal was green beans.
After a bit of food and fellowship it was time for cake!
You, by far, tackled the cake more than both Mikey and Gabby did on their first birthdays. Gabriella and Michael we're not interest in the least bit with touching such things with their fingers. Perhaps it has to do with all the practice you've had with baby lead weaning. Whatever the case, it was a first for me and so fun to watch.

This was your second serving of green beans. :)

You played around in your piece for a while and even shared a bit with me! It was so sweet!
Here's my favorite of the cake eating pictures...
After cake and presents you were beyond exhausted and ready for that nap you should have taken at 2:30. :) You rarely fall asleep without nursing but you were too tired to care and passed out in daddy's arms. 
I laid you in bed and you slept from 7 to 8:30. I wondered if you were done for the night but no, you woke ready for another hour and a half for party time...and that was ok with me. :)
I still have a hard time believing it but you're one now baby boy! Thank you for providing us the opportunity to celebrate you in such a way today. You're milestone was so memorable and we'll look back on these memories for a lifetime. We love you oh, so much!
Happy Birthday sweet Josiah!
