Happy Birthday, Little Buddy!

Seth’s 1st birthday weekend celebration was a blast! It’s hard to believe the little guy has been in our lives for a year already, but I can’t imagine how we ever got by without him.

For some reason, other people’s beds are so much fun to roll around in. At least in this photo he has clothes on–you might want to wash those sheets, Grandma Dodo!

No trip to Kingsland is complete without a boat ride. Seth may have somewhat mastered walking on land, but his sea legs still have lots of room for improvement!

Hopefully he’ll get the hang of this before Christmas rolls around!

Instead of the old paper cone hat, we opted for a more humiliating felt cake hat. You had to be quick to get a picture of it on his head–good job, Aunt Nat!

After seeing the tradition at several other 1st birthday parties, Daddy decided to bake Seth a special smash cake. It took the little guy a while to dig in, but soon icing was flying!

He’s all smiles after eating the most sugar he’s ever had in his life!

On our last night in Kingsland, we ate dinner at Chili’s in Marble Falls. We braved the heat on the patio to enjoy the beautiful lake view, but the real sight was Seth eating pizza for the first time.

Mom and Dad’s big birthday gift for our little monster was a red wagon. We tried it out last week when temps. dropped into the 90s (bearable). Seth loves having a 360-degree view of the neighborhood and feeling like a big boy!

Thank you to everyone who brought/sent gifts and for all of your love and support through our first year of parenthood!
