We were so excited to celebrate Josiah’s first birthday today! It really does feel like the time has flown by. He is such a joy to have in our home. At one year old, he is crawling on all fours…not the belly slide anymore. He loves to talk. Playing with his brothers and sister is a joy for him. He is climbing on anything he can reach. He loves to pull everything off the coffee table. Food is his friend and he enjoys being with it very much…however, he still loves to spend time with mommy nursing (twice a day, yippee). He can win you over with the biggest smile that says, “I’m going to get into something, just watch.” He absolutely loves playing in the water, be it the bath, pool or the cat/dog water bowl. He sleeps about 10 to 11 hours a night before spending time with mommy. He takes two naps each about 2 to 3 hours long (yeah, I know, it’s really nice).

We celebrated today with some friends over for lunch. Ge & Granddaddy came up and celebrated too. We had a yummy lunch followed by yummy cake and Josiah enjoyed his “smash” cake. Then he opened presents. He didnt dive into the cake too much. I’m afraid I filled him up on lunch but he did enjoy the sweetness and got a little dirty.

I’m afraid we have a ton of pictures, so I put it on a slide show. Thanks Tracy and Mark for taking so many pictures! All in all, it’s been a fun day. I’ve really enjoyed it since this is the first first birthday I haven’t been pregnant and feeling blah!

So, enjoy!
