Tuesday was Matthew's first birthday. I cannot tell you how quickly this year has flown. I will say though, as I got in the shower Tuesday morning, it was nice to realize how not pregnant, bloated, and uncomfortable I was (compared to the same time last year)!We sang to him when he woke up, which he liked, but the rest of the festivities happened after dinner. He loved his cake, getting the most messy of the three kids yet, and, after taking a quick bath to wash off the cake, he really enjoyed his presents (once Emily and Jacob had helped open them). :) It was a fun day.
Matthew's Dump Truck Cake.(All completely edible I might add!) :)
Our neighbors came over to sing and have cake with us. I think it was just too much for him! :)
We are just so happy Matthew is part of our family. He's definitely different from the other two (Well, he can eat like the other two though!) and it's so fun at this age to really see his personality coming out. He's cruising on furniture, pulling up on everything, loves to play with balls, loves music, loves to be with his siblings, claps, waves anytime you say "goodnight" or "goodbye," "talks" a lot now (nonsense of course, but he's definitely trying to communicate) and is a happy little guy.
Happy birthday buddy!

I'm glad he had a good time! Your cake turned out awesome! You talented girl!
I had to tell you that Jared wore the same PJs last night! Probably the same size too! 2T? Jared also got that ball blower for his 1st birthday. He saw Matthew in the picture with his ball blower and said "boy play balls!"
Happy Birthday Big Guy!

Loved the 'too much birthday' pic.
Happy Birthday, little man!!! Wow!! that really did go by fast. The cake is awesome. Is that fondant?
You could totally be on "Ace of Cakes"!!! You rock!
Love the popper ball roundy slidy toy! We used to have one of those and the boys loved it.
Congratulations on not being bloated and preggers one year later after giving birth too! Gotta love that spacing.
