Happy Birthday Tobi!

I'm seriously fighting tears as I write this....my baby boy is one year old today. I cannot believe how quickly this last year has flown. He is growing like a weed and learning so much. He's at such a fun age right now and I love to watch him roam around and play. He entertains himself very well and he's figuring things out super quick. He has such a sweet little personality and it is such a joy for me to be his mommy.

We woke up this morning and opened his first couple of gifts, which turned out to be bathtub toys (he doesn't really have any) and then we put him in the tub with all his new water toys. He loved it! Then he got to go with Daddy to the store to get his party stuff and he took his first ride facing forward in his car seat. So exciting!

We then had his birthday party. He was super tired and a little cranky but he made it. We had yummy sandwiches and chips for dinner, opened gifts, and then did cake and icecream. He got a lot of really cool new toys and super cute new outfits. He is very very loved. After that, we took him home and put him right to bed, poor little guy was tuckered out.

Happy Birthday monkey!

I love you!

The Jelly Sandwich

We had jelly sandwiches for lunch today.

Tobi LOVES jelly sandwiches and I love to watch him eat them. He's doing so much better with solid foods lately and I love to see how happy he gets when he eats something he likes.

He's such a cute little boy, I'm so proud to be his mom.

Fire Mario

I finished Tobi's Halloween costume and it turned out so good! I'm so stinkin' proud of myself too. I used to sew in high school but since graduation I've kind of forgotten the sewing machine and all its wonders. Lately I've started doing quilts and baby blankets...which I love! I found a pattern for some little baby jumpers and thought I'd try it for Tobi's costume. The pattern I had was super easy and his little jumper is adorable on him. I have to admit though that I did screw up the colors a little bit. Fire mario is supposed to have a white hat with a red "M" and I got it backward. Oh well, he's still cute as a button. We're all set to go trick or treating....woohoo!

Kelly's Birthday

This last weekend we were able to go to Logan for KellyAnne's birthday. Tobi and I rode up with Jayson and stayed all day Saturday, and then went home Sunday. Jordan drove up on his own when he got off work and met us up there. Sean and Brynn also came with the kiddos. We had a yummy lunch on Saturday, carved pumpkins, and had a really yummy dinner at Cafe Sabor. The guys got to go to a haunted corn maze Saturday night while the girls and the kiddos stayed home and watched movies. Sunday we had homemade pizza (Kelly did a fantastic job, it was delicious!) and I baked a really yummy chocolate jello cake that was a big hit. I had so much fun hanging out with Tyler and Kelly and little miss Rachel is just SO adorable. We had a blast and wish we could go up more often.

Happy Birthday Kelly, we love you!

I cannot believe my baby is eleven months old. Where has the year gone?

He is such a little cutie. He's gotten his second tooth in the front and I love his little toothy grin. It cracks me up every time I see it. He's also learned how to clap for himself, and how to wave (most of the time his wave is backwards, but at least he's trying). He is now dancing when he hears music that he likes and it is SO stinkin' cute. He dances the most to the Office theme music, it's hilarious!

He's doing really good with solid foods. He had his first jelly sandwich and he totally DEVOURED it. His hair is getting longer and it has more red, which I love. I really hope it stays that way. He's trying so hard to pull himself up but hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet. He LOVES the bathroom and we've had to try extra hard to remember to close doors. He is also obssessed with the cat. He follows her around and tries so hard to catch her. He likes to pull Jessa's hair and makes her cry. I figure she needs to learn to stay away from him. I've been planning his birthday party for next month, I still can't believe he's going to be a year old, and I'm very excited.

That's my little man at eleven months.

My favorite from today's work:

This is my favorite page that I finished today. I was able to do about ten pages.....wow. I really like digiscrapping and I'm excited to print these pages for Tobi's book.

What do you think?
