Birthday Boy

Wells' 1st birthday is this Sunday but considering it's Father's Day and Wade is out of town the two days before we decided to have his birthday party last Saturday.  I don't know why but I've thought about how my first child's birthday would be since I was a preteen (weird I know).  I was really excited about it, when I went to PartyLand to get him some balloons an hour later I was walking around with a whole cart full of birthday crap (streamers, horns, hats, candies, parting gifts, table clothes for like 20 tables, matching plates, cups, napkins, you get the idea).  Then I realized we aren't made of money... so I walked out satisfied with a couple of finds.

As for his cake I put a lot of thought into it.  I found this cake online and fell in love at first sight.  I thought it went well with our last name.  It was actually really easy AND fun to make.




There's Wells WAAAY over in the corner anxiously waiting for his piece of cake.


At first he was a little hesitant...


but quickly started shoving every last bit into his mouth.



He loved the cake.  That's the first time he's had that much of any kind of sugar or sweets.  I couldn't believe how fast he ate it.  He takes after his mamma I guess.


Danny and Jamie gave him this cute little backpack, he loved it and strutted around with it on his back the rest of the night.  I like this picture because you can see Elmo's creepy eyes poking out of the backpack.


We had to take off his shirt because it was covered in chocolate frosting.
He had sooo much fun, he loves to socialize and be the center of attention.  

Here are a couple of other pictures we've taken that I just have to add because they are so cute!


This little scooter was at my friend Gina's house and once I put him on it, he planted his little feet and wouldn't move.  I think this picture makes him look so big.


His fist baseball game


Getting ready to go to church with his new little backpack on


I decided it would be fun for Cinco to get in the pool with Wells so when I threw him in there he freaked out (I don't know why) and popped the top ring with his claws.  We tried to patch it up but it's just not the same.  Good thing Wells doesn't know the difference.

Here are some of the things I love about Wells,
-He's quick to laugh
-He likes to make his mommy and daddy laugh
-He's full of energy
-He's a good eater
-He's cuddly (when he's tired and has his pacifier and blanket)
-He waves and blows kisses
-When he gives Cinco a hug he lays his head on him and says "Awwwww"
-He's very musical, loves to sing, dance and make noise to dance to
-He's a socialite
-He's a fast learner
-He gives great hugs and gives you pats on the back
-He love to tackel you when you're laying down on the ground
-When he wakes up he just talks, laughs and screams like a little girl
I could go on and on and on.

  2. I loved the pictures especially the one where he is dressed for church. He looks like he is six years old! All of them were SO cute. I noticed in a couple of them how much he is changing in his looks. Going from a baby to a toddler. I sure would love to give him a squeeze! I love the look of your blog. One of these days I am going to figure out how to do it.
