We woke up in the morning (who am I kidding, I woke up at 4:30 and barely slept after that because I wanted Ryan to hurry up and wake up--this is DEFINITELY a first!). Ryan finally woke up around 6:15. We went in, sang happy birthday, gave him extra birthday cuddles and hugs, got him dressed, and brought him downstairs.
He opened up his two big presents from us:
He rode in the wagon a little bit and absolutely LOVED it (as you can tell) :)
We pushed his first nap until after 11, so he would be awake for his birthday party and not have to take another nap at like 2:30 or anything.
He had a GREAT time yesterday at his big birthday party (minus getting his birthday bruises from falling down the front porch stairs). He got to eat some birthday cake icing:
He wasn't very sold on the cake/icing. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm sure he liked it, but he was definitely skeptical about it. He made quite the mess out of his smash cake though:
We feel very blessed and thankful that so many people were able to celebrate this important milestone with Ryan. It's been a year of ups and downs, lots of cuddles, lots of awesome memories, lots of tears, lots of learning (for both us and Ryan), but most of all, lots and lots and lots of love. It's crazy to think how much has occurred over the past year, how much we have accomplished, how much we have grown, and how much our worlds have changed because of Ryan, and all for the better. We are really looking forward to this holiday season and giving Ryan the best childhood we can.
We can't wait to see what's in store for us for the next year!
