Connor turned one on January 21st and Cecil had had a crazy week at work so he wasn't able to stay to wake him up. As much as I didn't like it I took him to school (I know he doesn't know it was his birthday but I still would have preferred to be with him all day #momguilt).
I went in his room when he started stirring and he was just as happy as could be. I started singing Happy Birthday to him and he was even happier (and confused I think). I was all kinds of sick and losing my voice so you can imagine how great it sounded because I'm also tone deaf. haha
This second picture is one of my all-time favorites of him. Look how happy that smile is. He is just waking up and sleepy eyed, but it is also blury because he is on.the.go.
I wanted to fill his crib up with balloons, but promised Cecil I would wait until Saturday when he could be there. So I just gave him one balloon and he loved it!
I dressed him in his one shirt and took his last monthly picture.
On the way to school I had to stop and get gas. I just want to note how cheap gas is right now. It's a crazy industry, but thought it was note worthy on his birthday. I'm sure last year when he was born it was around $3.00.
I stopped at Burger Kind because #healthy and got Connor and myself a ham egg and cheese croissant for breakfast. I typically give him a bottle at home and then take him to school and feed him breakfast (banana, yogurt, breakfast croissant, etc) in a high chair before I leave. Since I started doing this it is much easier for me to get out the door than it was when I would just hand him over or set him on the floor to play.
At work I looked at how adorable his yearly pictures were and wrote his love letter.
After work I picked Noah & Zay up, we picked up Connor and met Leslie and Cecil for dinner at Texas Roadhouse.
Noah & Zay RUN into Connor's room when they go with me and I'm always scared they are going to railroad over another baby. haha
When I got to the classroom they were already singing happy birthday to him, had picked him up and had all the teachers laughing.
At dinner Leslie gave Connor his birthday card. Noah was proud of himself for picking it out and Connor was really into it and read it like a book before throwing it on the floor. haha
It says "HAPPY BIRHTDAY this is for you"
Inside: I picked it myself.
#boys
We have a long tradition of going to Texas ROLLhouse for birthdays and we wanted Connor to enjoy the full experience with the saddle and birthday song.
After dinner, when it was time the boys darted out of the table and loaded Connor onto the saddle.
I will say Connor was confused, but didn't complain. The waiter told us babies usually cry haha.
Connor just took it in stride and looked around at everyone.
After the song I gave him his cake that Leslie had picked up for me from Leah's Sweet Treats. We had a horrible reaction to his smash cake at his photo session so I was not sure what he would do with this one.
I was happy that he was into it! He looooved the sprinkles!!
I cut myself a piece and turned it so that I could see his damage. Light weight.
I cut him a piece of the cake and he continued on. Slowly.
We got a group picture (including Zay's crazy eyes)
We came home and put Connor to bed and thanked our lucky stars that he is ours. We love him so much.
