HapPy biRtHdaY!!!

LOOK WHO'S ONE!!!!

The Cake {didn't turn out quite how I imagined, but it was gobbled up, none the less and the frosting is hopefully enough Chartreuse for Dad! ;0) }


Jonas played with the cupcake for a bit and then got mad because all of the kids were not trapped in a high chair like him :0) so he didn't eat much of it.



Opening up the gifts {notice all the kids around. They all wanted to play with his toys first, of course. And they were all there to help take off the wrapping paper too.}


And, the most popular toy of the evening {maybe because it was the last one} from Grandma Gunther. Thanks Grandma!!!




This was too funny to pass. Hyrum was on the ladder to the fish tank and Jonas came up from behind and tried to push himself up higher, but Hyrum was obviously in the way.


Dancing at the end of the day. He was going more crazy than this, but I only caught the tail end of it. I guess it was all that sugar in the frosting.


At 1, Jonas:
Says: mama, dada, boo, a-koo (peek-a-boo), and many other non-translated words.
Took his first step last wednesday, just a single step.
Has been doing the Mowgli walk all day today.
Has four teeth on top and two on the bottom.
Claps his hands and dances to music (obviously, if you watched the video)
Is so quick. Whenever he sees a door open that he's not supposed to enter (i.e. the pantry, mom's craft room, etc.) he makes a bee-line for it.
Still eats paper and anything else that can be eaten.
Loves to throw things and put things in buckets or other containers.
Loves the camera (if you haven't noticed).
Hates wearing socks and usually pulls them off and throws them. That's why I try to put shoes on as often as possible.
Loves anything that has a face. He'll laugh so hard at his stuffed animals and animal puppets on TV.
Likes to try to poke mom's eye and get his fingers eaten by dad.
Loves to hit things that make cool sounds.
Tries to push the power button on the computer almost daily.
Loves playing the piano and singing.
Is such a funny kid. He has the cutest laugh and is super ticklish.

We love him so much and couldn't ask for a better kid. We are excited for another year!!!

I think the cake looks pretty great. I always love the first birthday. It is much more for the Mommy than the child, but it is so fun. Great party!
