Birthday Boy!

Conner's first birthday was on Saturday and we still can't believe that he is already one! My family was able to come up to celebrate with us. I found a tutorial online on how to make this cake so Conner had a rubber ducky themed party!


I didn't want Conner to destroy the whole cake...I want cake too :)... so I made him his own little mini cake.


I was really excited to see how Conner would like his first cake. He hasn't had a whole lot of sugar yet so I was pretty sure that he would stuff his face but I don't think that he understood that he was supposed to eat it...


He immediately started tearing it apart but he wanted to feed it to Grandpa instead of eating it himself.


Although he did get a few fistfuls into his mouth, he mostly just made a big mess... :)

Conner got spoiled with lots and lots of gifts. Some of the things that he got were a John Deere tool set, Tonka truck, remote control truck, bubble bath blower, forward facing car seat, lots of books, and Disney dvd's.


He loved opening his presents with Grandma and he had lots of help from his cousin Kynzee.

Conner loved wearing his party had because he has been wanting to put stuff on his head lately...he thinks that it is really funny to walk around with a diaper on his head...

He has been getting alot better at walking. He is still wobbly but he is getting a lot more daring and will walk a lot farther.


He always wants to be upright but he can't stand up on his own without pulling himself up on something so he is always walking around everywhere on his knees.

We can't believe that Conner is growing up so fast! Although I miss him being a little baby I can't get enough of his fun personality at this age. I made these scrapbook pages of Conner's first year with highlights from each month of his life:

Happy Birthday Conner! We love you!
