Where does the time go? Happy 1st Birthday to our Tanner! He is such a sweet and happy little guy. He is adored by all!

The theme for the day was pirates! I made a big cupcake to look a pirate and pirate cake pops which were all a big hit. As we sang Tanner immediately reached to grab a priate cake pop. As you can see he wasn't really into blowing out his candle.

Enjoying his cake pop. I didn't even have him eat his big cupcake. It was huge and the black frosting would have stained him purple for days. He was completely happy to eat his much smaller cake pop.

Opening presents. Carson had to help him with the wrapping paper. We got him a Lego farm which he really likes to destroy. Grandma and Papa got him a walker that he is loving. Grandma and Grandpa got him three new books. Aunt Marci and Uncle Adam sent him some new clothes.

I hope this little boy feels celebrated. We sure love him to pieces!
A few things about Tanner at age 1:
- he is the happiest little guy around, always smiling
- right now 'mama' is his only word (I'm happy to be his favorite)
- he isn't quite walking
- he loves to eat anything we are eating (except peas!)
- he loves to crawl after his older brothers and try to do what they do
- he loves to be tickled
- he lights up when you sing to him
- nicknames: Tanner-man, Mr. T and little Tanner coconut (thanks to Carson)
