Well, it happened! Our baby turned one, and boy did we celebrate! On June 25th we had a Fun in the Sun party at our house. Many family members and friends joined us. The kids had a blast splashing in the kiddie pool and sprinkler we had set up for them. Landon especially loved the water. He would have stayed in there all day if we'd let him!
My parents came up a couple days early and my mom made Landon's first birthday cake. It was incredible! The beach ball was his personal "smash" cake. It was really awesome.
It was so fun as everyone sang Happy Birthday to our little muffin. He just soaked up all of the attention. He wasn't really sure what to to with the cake, so I had to help him get started :).
It was such a beautiful, sunny day!
We sang to our little man once more on June 30th, which was his actual birthday, when we were down south at Grandma and Nono's. He enjoyed a second cake (made by Grandma again :)) and loved every bite!
He would've licked the plate clean if I'd let him!
Landon had his 12 month check up this past week and he's doing so well. 30 1/4 inches, 22 1/2 pounds. He's an eating machine and will scarf down every and anything I put in front of him and then whine for more. I'm transitioning him to whole milk and his diet is all table food. It all happened really fast; he's suddenly a toddler. Not quite walking on his own yet, although it will be any day now, talking up a storm. Constantly asking "what's that?" while pointing at different things. And he's still all smiles. I hope that never changes. It'll just melt your heart.
I'm enjoying every second of my Landon time while off from work this summer. We sure are having fun together!
