Hunter turned one on Labor Day weekend. We were in Dobbin visiting my parents, so we decided to have a family party there. We all had a great time, but Hunter had a blast! He got to play with his cousins and new friends. Hunter had been taking steps for about 2-3 weeks before he turned one, but it wasn't until his actual birthday until he decided to get up and just start walking. It was awesome! Just out of nowhere, he got up and just started cruising like he had been doing that all along. He must have known in was his special day. We had successfully waited the whole year to give him any kind of super sugary dessert. So on his birthday he had the most sugar-filled, bright blue icing cupcake we could find. Just a warning to those parents whose children are yet to turn one-- be ware of the color icing they eat. Let's just say, the next day you will find a nice brightly colored surprise in their diaper :)
Thanks Mimi and Papa for a wonderful party! Hunter loves you!!!

Daddy got Hunter a ukulele. It's his FAVORITE toy!
A week later, we had a party in San Antonio for all his local friends. This was a blast. We had his party at a local park and 16 of his little buddies came. Daddy grilled hot dogs, the kids played and had cake, and Mr. Todd did face painting. Hunter had such a great time and said he can't wait for his birthday next year. Thanks GranDana and Grandpa Larry for helping us make this a success!
I can't really say that I am sad about Hunter already being one. I do miss those sweet moments of snuggling him when he was so tiny, but that little boy is just so much fun. He gets more and more fun every day. I can't be sad about that. I love my little Hunter and he will always be my very special baby boy.
