One

Today Cal turned one! 

 I have loved watching this sweet happy boy grow.  I was able to enjoy him more as a baby since I wasn't as rushed to see him get bigger.  With Jake, I didn't know what to expect and had no clue what to do half the time.  I was anxious for him to grow because I hated the newborn stage.  With Cal, I knew what I was doing and more confident in my parenting skills.  I was able to enjoy his infant stage and appreciate all his baby cuteness.

Now he's ONE! We didn't do much for his birthday.  We just stayed home and had a visit from Dans parents. We got him a ball, a book, and a squirter for the pool.  Aunt Beth and Uncle Ben gave him a dump truck that sings and can be pulled by a string. My Inlaws gave him diapers, an outfit, a nap time cd, and a shape sorter.

He loved his cupcake!

Happy birthday sweet boy.  We are so glad you are a part of our lives.  We love you so much.  And thanks to everyone who helped him celebrate.
