My sweet baby is one year old today! I can hardly believe it! Luckily he seems to be content to be a baby a little bit longer until we can realize that we have a 1 year old! He is still happy to be crawling and will not have a thing to do with any food but baby food and the occasional Cheerio. I'll keep him a baby as long as I possibly can!
Dad and the Birthday Boy
Tyler and I spent a while this morning on the internet looking for a cute birthday cake to make for Ryan. We finally settled on these cute bug cupcakes that I thought looked easy to make, but I realized that there are those who are born to create and those who are not, and I am definitely the latter. I'm not sure it was worth the effort since Ryan smashed the cupcakes all over his highchair, threw the pieces on the floor and wouldn't even take a bite - like I said earlier, he is not a fan of real food. But they were fun to make and pretty entertaining to watch him go after that cupcake. One thing I did learn is that dark blue icing will stain a baby's hand and turn a bath bright blue. :)
We were not going to do much for his birthday this year since he really doesn't need anything and it would be just one more thing to pack up this summer when we move, but Tyler really wanted to get him a present. So this afternoon, Tyler and I went on a little shopping trip. I thought it was pretty sweet that Tyler wanted to get Ryan a present so badly. Of course, what did Tyler pick out??? You've got it, a Baby Einstein movie.

Ryan was thrilled with his new remote!
Tonight one of my best friends brought over this darling blanket she made for Ryan. Thanks, Laur! He loves it! He laid in his bed tonight drinking his bottle and rubbing the soft silky edge and looked very relaxed.
Happy Birthday, Baby Boy! We love you so much!

i can't believe that it has been a year already! and i don't know what you are talking about..those cupcakes are too cute!:)
Happy Birthday to Ryan!! I can't believe he is one and that I am such a lame aunt and didn't call you. But, we love you guys so much!!! Cute, cute pics!!
I seriously can't believe he is one. He looks so cute! We miss you guys so much, we need to get together soon. Ohh by the way, from my own experience that dark frosting doesn't just stain their hands and face. Be sure to check the toilet for those who did consume the frosting, it is pretty freaky. Sorry for being too graphic.
I am totally with you being one of those people who was not born to create, so I think your cupcakes look pretty good. I love that Tyler chose Ryan the gift that keeps on giving. Like when a husband gives his wife a chainsaw. :)
How has a year already passed? I was shocked when I saw this post and realized your "newborn" just turned a year old!
The cupcakes were too cute! Good job!
And my goodness, that blanket is darling. Great job, Laur!
