Stanley Turns ONE!

Yesterday was Stanley's first birthday! He started the day with a special breakfast of french toast and blueberries. We spent the rest of the day preparing for his Cookie Monster birthday party. Stanley's guests arrived, and Stanley had fun playing with his little friends (and his grown-up friends, too!). We all at delicious BBQ that his Daddy made. He opened presents, and loved all the thoughtful things he got, like a drum, rhythm instruments, Sesame Street books, Fall clothes, Purdue clothes, animal basketball toy, wooden alligator pull-toy, and so much more! Then we all sang happy birthday to him, and he was presented with his first "real" cupcake. (He already had a "healthy" cupcake, but nothing like the straight-up sugar one I gave him on his actual bday.) I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but he ate the WHOLE thing! He was even eating the crumbs off his tray! After his first few bites he clapped since he liked it so much. Everything at the party was so fun, from the guests to the Cookie Monster balloons. Stanley enjoyed every minute of it!
