On Friday, May 28 Alex turned 1! We celebrated with his party on Saturday and had a great time with friends and family. Here is big brother Brady helping to mix up the cake.
Jen and Brady were my ladder creators. We broke up pretzels and dipped them in chocolate to make the ladder for the firetruck cake.
Here it is! My second 3D creation!
Our birthday boy was full of grins, giggles, and clapping for his big day!
As I mentioned in a previous post, this kiddos toy of choice these days is a ball. He got a couple of new ones for his birthday. One was from Brady. I laughed when I asked Brady what he wanted to get and he was very certain that it had to be a ball because that is Alex's favorite. This was one from Grandma and Grandpa Johnson.
Grandma and Grandpa Schwartzhoff got Alex a new Packer jersey. We are all set for football season this fall! He also got a CareBear, a stuffed Tigger, several outfits, some cars, a bubble machine, some books, pj's, and a savings bond.
Still can't believe Alex is getting so big!
The cake and singing was all a bit much for Alex. He wasn't sure what to make out of all the attention.
A little uncertain, but he went for it.
His first taste.
Alex was very cautious and very serious about eating his cake. No smiles to be found.
Soon after he got a little messy, fussiness began and then...
came the tears. He was no longer having fun so it was time to clean up.
After a little clean up with mommy and grandma we were back in business.
Cake on Grandma's lap was MUCH better.
He actually enjoyed it!

Too cute for words

He polished off the night playing with his new activity table from mommy and daddy. Thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate Alex's special day!
