liam's first birthday party

liam's birthday was on a saturday so we all got to sleep in. we actually ended up being awake before him. when he finally started moving around i went up to grab him and made this little video

we really wanted to keep his party simple. we probably could have filled my moms house if we had invited all of our friends but we kept it at parents, grandparents and siblings. and celeste, because they are going to get married.

publix is awesome and will give you a matching smash cake for free if you buy a cake from them. it  was a legit cake too!

we ordered two large momo's pizzas and thought we would be eating pizza for days but ended the party with only 3 or 4 slices left over.

this kangaroo, now known as joey around our house, was liam's first present that he opened. he could have stopped there and been happy! he loves hugging stuffed items.

he loved seeing the new toys and clothes that he got. he wanted to stop and play with each of them right then.

he also enjoyed eating the tissue paper. somethings didn't change with this age.

cake time! he was all about trying to eat the candle. we had been working on blowing few in advance for the big day but when it was showtime, nerves got the best of him and he forgot how to blow. liam wasn't that interested in eating his cake. he put his hands on the icing and squished them some and he was done.

this past year has been the best. i couldn't have asked for a better baby with a better personality. he's the whole package. thank you to all of our family who came to celebrate with us!!

be on the lookout for liam's one year old photoshoot!
