HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY WADE...

Our Sweet Birthday Boy... Opening presents...
This was the first cake I have ever made like this. I was so excited but nervous to make this, but my friend Heather (who is fabulous at making cakes) coached me along and taught me how, it was so fun to make, I think I found a new hobby, thanks Heather!
Daddy, prego Mommy and Wade just got a new book that he wanted to use as a teething toy :)

Wade's party, we never seem to have enough money to do actual "real" birthday parties with friends (I always feel bad inviting people to come to my kid's party if I don't have goodie bags or something fun to do for them) so it's just simple with family. My dad, my sister and her husband and kids came, and Daniel and Natilie's father Dan and then us...it was small but the kids still had fun. Here was Wade opening presents, thanks everyone!
Wade LOVES his pacifiers and my sister got him a new one, and he didn't waste anytime, he tried putting it in his mouth and sucking on it through the package..

Today was our little man's first birthday, and boy how time flies...I reflect back on the last year and realize how precious these moments are when our kids are young and they are only young for such a short time! They need/want us and before long it will be us begging for them to be around and have their attention...Wade is a handful who never wants to sleep, but we wouldn't trade him in for the world, he has been such a joy to have in our home with all of his constant smiles, we are so blessed to be his mommy and daddy, we love you Wade!!...

Such a cutie! I've been thinking of the past year a lot as well. It was a year ago today that we moved into our apt. I cannot believe our little babies are finishing their first year, starting to walk and turning into little people! Wade really does have the best smile!

That little Wade is such a stud! Big ol' friend parties are over-rated anyway- family is all you need! :)
