Oh the fun we have had in 365 days!!
(Clockwise from Newborn to 1 year!!)
Austin and I had a lot of fun together on his birthday! I just can't believe we are here celebrating 1 year already. I'm so blessed to be Austin's mama. We have so much fun together singing and dancing the day away! Literally...we sing everything!
We started his day out by singing Happy Birthday to him and then we had his favorite breakfast of banana pancakes and strawberry syrup! We took a walk in the morning and then read books and played. Grandma Kathy brought over a birthday surprise, some fun books and a cupcake just for Austin! Grandma stayed through lunch. Austin had his first peanut butter and honey sandwich! After lunch it was time for a nap. When Austin woke up we went to the park with our friends Katie and Landon! Austin loved the swing as usual but this time he tried out the slide and he thought that was the next best thing! After the park we headed to pick up dad from work and off to Noodles and Company we went for some yummy Mac N' Cheese! Finally home for our yummy cupcake from Grandma! He was in heaven! Presents completed the night with mom and dad! We just love our cub and can't imagine our lives with out him! Happy first little cub!!
Party #1
We had the McGavin's at our house to celebrate Austin's Birthday. It's amazing how I think I take a million pictures and then when I get them on the computer I think of how many more I should have taken. We sure had a fun time together, we even got to eat outside one last time! I made 2 lion cakes, one for Austin and one for everyone else! They turned out better than I had expected! Austin sure loves the McGavin side, they always take the time to play with him. Grandpa and Austin had fun rolling the ball back and forth and everyone else had fun watching Austin open his presents and chatting! Thank you to everyone you were all so generous!
Party #2
Since my family has so many people we celebrate Austin's birthday at my mom and dad's. Everyone was so generous! Austin is very loved by his cousins they want to help with everything! He even had helpers in the bath after he ate his cake! I made 2 more cakes this week as well; they didn't turn out as cute as last weeks but they were fun to make! I made chocolate cake this week and carrot cake last week! I must say homemade cake is so much better than the box it's worth the little extra time! Thanks Grandma Kathy for the recipes!
