Hip Hip Hooray for Coleman's 1st Birthday!

I told you guys I would be back to do a full birthday post on our youngest little boy! It was a great day spent with family and friends to celebrate the first year of Coleman's life. I am pretty sure he will not remember much of the day but for mommy it will be forever ingrained in my mind!
The theme for the party came from a stuffed animal that my mom gave Coleman shortly after he was born. It was a Hippo made like a sock monkey and was very fitting for a winter birthday party. The guest of honor was decked out in a hippo outfit smocked by his RaRa but when cake time came he was stripped down to a diaper, and loved it!

Little man loved every bit of his cake and had I left him in front of it he probably would have finished the whole thing! I would not have blamed it as it was so very good and I enjoyed it as much as he did, he takes after his mommy loving sweets. His big brother could care less about them, which still blows my mind!

There was sure some excitement at the party, we had a rocket launcher which all the kids loved and a little excitement when my dad caught him self on fire! I will definitely be sharing this story with Coleman when he gets older and I hope he laughs as much as I did when it happened!

Now that I have talked about the party lets move on to the boring details of the first year of life that are for mommy so she can always remember. At one year, my little boy is still not walking but is a very fast little crawler and is pulling up on everything and getting into everything within arms length. He will eat just about anything in sight but refuses to drink milk, which is driving me a little crazy. He absolutely loves his brother and will laugh at just about anything he does, which really is my favorite thing in the world!

He is still a little bit but you would never know that when you watch him eat! He has yet to creep his way on to the chart but he is just the size he is suppose to be at 16lbs12oz and 28 1/4" long. I mean lets face it he really doesn't have much chance at being super tall since it doesn't run in the family! Luckily this go round we aren't going to be running all the test that we had run on Charlie so that is a relief. We have just determined that our kids our small and that is just perfect for us!We love you so much little boy and are looking forward to watching you grow and change and explore as you enter your second year of life. Just promise me one thing you won't grow up to fast, mommy is just not ready!
