I Can't Believe He's 1!!!

I can't believe my little baby turned 1 this week!!! Time seems to just have flown by. He is the happiest little guy and it really has been a great blessing to have stayed home with him this year. I have to admit that not everyday is amazing in a mother's world, but we definitely had far more great days than bad ones.

We celebrated his birthday with a little "Puppy Party" with our family. Since we consider Christopher to be our little puppy, (if you haven't read the puppy post scroll down and this will make more sense) we threw him a doggy party complete with hotdogs, pupcakes (served in a dog bowl), and the cousins got to take home little doggy bags. The kids got to go swimming, and it was a very pleasant day overall. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Gifts and Party Favors

He LOVES the pool (which is a little scary)

Singing "Happy Birthday"

I thought he would hesitate a little before touching or trying the cupcake, but he just attacked it!

Since this is getting kind of long, I made the pictures smaller.


Cleaning up cake mess and opening presents.


This post is supposed to be all about Christopher, but I guess since he's got a little brother on the way soon, he'll need to learn to share the attention. My great friends Rachael and Dana threw me a ward baby shower on Friday, even though I insisted I didn't need one. The theme was movie premiere "Baby Garrett II". I got lots of diapers and wipes (everything I really wanted!!) Thanks girls!!!!

As you can see, Rachael is really talented. She made that delicious and cute cake, and came up with all the decoration ideas! (We even had a red carpet and paparazzis stalking us as we walked in.)

Happy birthday to Christopher. That is so cute with the puppy dog theme. Looks like he thoroughly enjoyed himself. That baby shower looks like it was adorable! Very creative theme and so cute with the paparazzi and all.
