We had a little birthday party with our family and Matson's grandparents. The birthday boy was excited to have some visitors over for his birthday party but he had no idea they were there for him. He kept crawling away from his presents until we started singing Happy Birthday to him. He loved being sung to and started grinning at us. Over the next few days we sang "happy birthday" to him numerous times and he got to the point that he would start grinning and clapping! He loved all the attention! That's what I love about 1st birthdays. They don't expect anything and are surprised by everything! I love to see their reaction to it all.
We got him this zebra that bounces (thanks to a neighbor that's been passing down baby toys to us). He was a little scared of it and but was quite thrilled that it makes a horse sound. He loves horses!
His favorite gifts were a hippo you throw balls into, a dog book, and a bubble maker the girls picked out for him and HAD to get him. They knew he would love it and he does! He loves his hippo toy and roars at it every time he sees it. So cute! He sure loves animals.
After presents, it was time for some cake! This is the moment when he stopped crawling away and noticed a big cake in front of him!
He was pretty unsure at first and wasn't sure what to do. He poked his finger in it and took a little taste.
Yummy!
He ate a little, squished it all over his hands, and then crawled away to play on the slide. Silly boy!
Then the balloons took flight. Luckily Kelsie and Grandma tracked them down and grabbed them right out of the hands of the boy who had caught them. :) We had fun day spoiling you and watching your happy reaction to all the excitement of your big day. Happy Birthday big one year old!
