My Baby is ONE!!!

This past weekend has been a TON of fun. We celebrated Porter's 1st Birthday! Kameron's family came up and spent the weekend with us, and my family came out on saturday for the party. Porter had a blast, and although I am sure he had NO idea that all the fuss was over his birthday, he sure enjoyed the attention. This post is going to be kind of long, but I have so many cute pictures, I had to choose my favorite! Here are just a few pictures from his party:

He enjoyed his first piece of pizza. I have still yet to find something this kid will NOT eat!! And as you can tell from his face...he enjoyed it!



Digging into his cake and taking his first taste of frosting!



This is how he ate his entire piece of cake! He didnt take it away from his mouth until it was gone...I think it was in fear that if he did, I might take it away. (that usually happens if he gets something loaded with sugar)



This was the final damage. He looked like a Smurf, and was not interested in anything BUT his frosting and cake...which Aunt Amy kept spoon feeding him!!


Porter opening one of his gifts, from his buddy Hudson! (I added this one for you Meagan, since you missed it!)


Riding his new Radio Flyer from Amy, Brooke, and Jai! He has already gotten really good at getting on and off it. So thanks to Aunt Amy...he loves it!


The whole Lee Family! It was so fun to spend the weekend with them. Kyran said the funniest thing that I have to add in here. As you all know we have recently finished our backyard, and this was Kyran's first time seeing it. Well after a day of playing with kids out back he told Kameron: "You're backyard is SO COOL! Its way cooler than our backyard!" Isnt it funny how 6 year olds can see things? Ours is like 1/10th the size of his, but what a difference a few kids and a slide can make!! But I am glad he enjoyed it!

We had a great turn out and had a lot of family and friends drive very far (and some not so far!) to spend the day with us and celebrate his birthday! Thanks to everyone who spent time in traffic just for my little guy! We appreciate all of you.

On a different note, this past weekend I have been reminded of all the changes that we have been through in the past year.

We prepared for our new baby!


Moved into a new home.


Introduced our handsome son Porter Grant into the world!


Watched him chub up....


...and grow up, into the adorable, fun loving, and spunky little boy that he is. And I am proud to be called his "ma ma ma"!

ONE YEAR OLD! It is crazy how the time flys by. I had been think of the fact that a year ago you were txting me to tell me that they were going to start you. And now look at where you are. A wonderful mommy. with an adorable little one year old. :) Thanks for the invite to the party we are glad that it worked out and we were able to make it. :)

How fun! I was just reflecting the other day on how much happens in a year. It's pretty crazy! He's growing up so so fast Gina...and I love all the pictures. It looks like he enjoyed his cake!
