One

This boy is one! He has grown up so much in the last month I can't even believe it! I wasn't going to do much for his birthday but as it got closer I couldn't resist. We had both our families over and had such a great time. Knox, of course, got spoiled rotten!

The party goers...


I decided to try to see if I could suck any craftiness out of myself for this momentous occasion and tried making him a cake. It's supposed to be a pig, but I realize it's more like a bear/pig!

Knox was so lucky to have so many people who brought him presents for his 1st birthday (he's clapping in the picture)! Thank you everyone for being so generous!

Getting ready for the cake...

Diving in....

Realized it was REALLY good...

And finally hitting the "cake coma" stage...

Some fun things to remember:
  • Shakes his head "yes" and "no"
  • Says "ya" after everything
  • Is brave enough to cruise around the house until he gets to the hardwood floors
  • Top 4 teeth are all coming in
  • Loves his blue blankie
  • Will eat anything and everything
  • Will walk around everywhere but hasn't figured how to get back up so he screams when his bum hits the floor
  • Is such a happy boy!!
We love you Knox!

happy birthday to Knox! He is such a stud. I can't get enough of the kid. I think the pig cake was fantastic. I would have screwed that one up.
