It is hard to believe it has been a year since the sweetest little boy came into our lives. We often wonder what we spent our time doing before he came along, but would not change one single thing about life with him in it! Everyday is a blessing and we are so thankful for him. We celebrated Adler's 1st birthday a couple weeks ago. At first he wasn't too sure about all of the people that were in "his house," but in no time at all he warmed up to everyone. He did well opening up presents, but couldn't figure out why he had to leave one present to open another! When it came time to eat cake, he wasn't bashful, although he couldn't understand why he couldn't play with the candle that was lit. After we blew the candle out it was fair game, and boy did he make a mess, there was green frosting everywhere! Needless to say it took a LONG time to come down off of the sugar rush, but when he did, he crashed and burned. Jared and I took him to Enid for his 1 year pictures @ Moto Photo. We got about 10 miles outside of Enid only to remember that I forgot his birthday cake (the one that I wouldn't let anyone touch at the party, it was to be saved for pictures) at home in the refridgrator! Panick set in...but thank goodness for Jumbos, Jared dropped us off to get pictures started and went and picked up a cake and made it back just in time for the second half of pictures. Adler coudln't tell the difference...the photographer warned me not to be disappointed if Adler didn't want to play in the cake because of getting his hands dirty. I assured him not to worry, that it wouldn't be a problem we had practiced at the party and he would be a champ. All through the pictures the photographer couldn't believe how much Adler loved making a mess of the cake! He did great, the pictures are adorable.
We have been spending alot of time outside with this beautiful weather that we have been blessed with. Adler loves it, if he had his way we would never come back inside. He got a wagon and a little tikes swing set for his birthday and we have been spending plenty of time getting good use out of both of them. Well I had better get the laundry done up before Adler wakes up from his nap so that we can go play!
