It's amazing how fast the first year goes by! When they are first born you think they will never get past the stage of not sleeping through the night, or be able to roll over, or crawl, or hold their own bottle...the list goes on. But then overnight they are doing all these things and that little helpless baby that once needed you all the time is an independent little boy. But enough of this sappy mommy's ramblings.
The day after Halloween we had Connor's first birthday party. His birthday is not until the 3rd but we wanted to have it when all the family from out of town could be there too. What a day! First of all, parties are a lot of work. Especially when you plan too much. Thank goodness for my mom and sister who came over early to help otherwise I would not have been ready in time. My mom helped a lot with the bear cake. Nicole did the decorations, which turned out great! And the food was oh so delicious. There was
fried ravioli, hot wings (from Dominos that i tried to convince people i made myself), and really delicious pizza that Dan made. The
white pizza and
Greek pizza were especially good! So good, even Connor loved it!
Connor had a blast opening presents although we was more into playing with the paper and tissue paper. He especially liked his Elmo card that sang happy birthday, every time it played he danced with it.
Cake time was much fun and messy! He was a little intimidated by it at first but soon dug in and found it very delicious. (Click on Cake time to view video)
What a fun but tiring day, especially for Connor.
