So time once again left me. I said I would get back later and post pictures. Well it is now later. Funny how that works. Had parents visiting for Eddie's first birthday and then as soon as we put them on the plane we left for NJ for a birthday party at the inlaws. All is done now. He got new toys and clothes. But not a lot of either one which is a good thing. Now to figure out where to put them all and what to take away. I know of some stuff that he really doesn't play with anymore so I am just going to make that little bit of stuff go away. I don't get how people can have a million toys for their kids. We still have stuff from Christmas that is in the packages cause he got so much stuff from the NJ grandparents. I feel bad but a child can only play with so many toys. Oh well life goes on right? Toys for tots will be getting some stuff next year that hasn't been used at all. Pictures:

After having cake on his birthday:

During his party after presents and cake:

He did great at his party. Had a little nap before everyone got there which was wanted  I wanted. Not his normal nap but about an hour and 15 minutes of nap. Then he hung out with everyone and had a good time. Wanted some milk about half way thru and then after we did presents and sang happy birthday he wasn't really interested in his cupcake but did finish his milk and then as you see took a little snooze with his cupcake. Woke up from his siesta and had some food and more play time. It was a good time all around. Next year will be different I am sure. Now my little baby is getting ready to walk. Such a big man.

My little Eddie turned one yesterday. We had a fun day of hanging out at home. But I think he needed a break after 4 straight days of sightseeing with grandpa and grandma. So we stayed home and made birthday cake and just relaxed. Today grandma and grandpa are off seeing some stuff all on their own. Eddie and I are extending our much needed break (me from the parents, him from being trapped in a stroller or backpack) This weekend is the birthday party with DH's family. Oh my that should be a big train wreck. Yup lots going on a baby shower the day before and then Eddie's party. But then all the birthday will be done for the year. Still not walking but he is starting to push his walker toy around. I think he is waiting for the right time to let go. Not sure when that will be. Maybe after we buy a gate to close off the kitchen. Or even better the day after my parents leave. Oh well they got the feel his 8th tooth before any other family people and be here for his actually birthday. I will be back later with pictures. Little man just woke up from his nap.
