An Un-Happy Birthday

Birthday morning playing with his horse.

Yesterday our little boy turned 1. All day I had planned on posting a blog and saying happy birthday to him but with getting ready for a little birthday party with grandparents and great grandparents I just never got around to it.

Wednesday and leading up to Wednesday Josiah was happy as could be.

Thursday (Birthday day)...crabby.

Friday back to his happy self.

Hmmm, this makes me wonder...did he know it was his birthday and just didn't want to turn one as I am feeling I don't want to turn another year older each year either?

Playing with one of his new toys before everyone got to our house...still happy at this point.

We finally got him into a happy mood and then grandparents came and that all went crumbling down. What I thought was going to be a fun night because he would get cake and presents to open turned out to be more of an Un-Happy Birthday. Once we pulled out the cake (that Amber and I decorated the night before until 11:30pm) the very un-happy birthday boy became even more un-happy. Needless to say his first birthday cake experience turned out to be one filled with tears. This makes me really happy that I didn't try and do something more elaborate for a birthday party for him. All that to say though, my little boy is now 1 which means I am now a mother of a 1 year old which still seems so odd.

Amber came over the night before and helped me make a John Deere cake...this was also my first cake I have ever decorated, it was a lot of fun. Thanks Amber for all the help!

Not enjoying his birthday cake.

He was really happy to take a bath though!

Happy Birthday Josiah, you've taught us so much this year about love and parenthood. We love you!
