Birthday, For Real This Time

On a little boy's first birthday, he really should have his pick of birthday outfits. As evidenced, we were not lacking in this department.


We planned a birthday party for 3-6 pm at Nana and Papa's house. This is MP2's prime time in the afternoon, and gave us plenty of time to prepare. Though, as we were grilling the ribs in 1,000,000,000 degree heat outside, I kind of thought a breakfast would have been a bit better. We got everything prepared though in plenty of time for our guests arrival!

Aunt Sandy hadn't seen MP2 since Thanksgiving, and while he'd changed a lot, it was clear that he was still content to hang out - as he's always been



MP2 also got to hang with his baby bff and possible future prom date SD. Just look at him checking her out - good thing SD's dad was chatting with MP and didn't catch this!



Here, he's trying to impress her with his crazy crawling skills - or maybe he's just sneaking up on her, who's to say.



Some of our oldest family friends were there to meet MP2 for the first time, and I think CH took quite a liking to MP2, I am putting her in the babysitter rolodex for years to come!





No first birthday is complete without some (very healthy carrot) cake to celebrate...plus a lot of singing. MP2 wasn't quite sure what to make of being the center of attention, but luckily CH was there to help him out.



A family photo op!



And one more with our hosts!



MP2 loves playing with all of the other kids, and it seemed like they all had fun as well.




After the party, the fun didn't end (we had one more onesie to model, afterall).















I felt so happy to be able to share this celebration with our family and friends here in Nashville. It was a perfect day to cap off a fantastic year seeing MP2 grow and change. Here's to many more celebrations to come.
