My BABY is ONE!!!!!!!!!

Guess who is officially ONE???  That's right, THIS LITTLE MAN:

You have passed Mr. Monkey up big time! 

 I can't believe you were smaller than him at one point!!

We had to cancel your original party because you were under the weather! :(

Even though you were fresh out of the hospital, we put together a new lil' party for our sweet "Little Man!"

You had the time of your life! It was full of family, yummy spaghetti, lots of laughs, tons of presents, a new slide, and delicious, messy cake!!! You were worn out by the end of the night! ;)

Cute neck ties for our cute lil' boy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE MAN!!!

Our fantastic cake made by Ms. Kelly Whelan! Delicious!!!

All giggles!

Connor LOVES his Ryan!

My little mustache man! :)

Uncle Andrew and Aunt Jill

It also happened to be Kentucky Derby day, so they were a little distracted when the race came on! lol

PRESENT TIME!!!

Two sweet toddlers had to get in on the present action!!! lol

Loving on your cousin, Colby!

Little Mustache Man!

Your favorite part of the evening??

The cake, of course!!!

You were even willing to share with Momma! Sweet boy!

So, what all is our sweet one year old up to? I'm so glad you asked.
Well, for starters...

• You are crusin' town, that's for sure! You cruise along our furniture like it's no big deal! You'll be walking in no time!
• You are eating us out of house and home! You are one little piglet!
• You use lots of gestures, pointing and motioning to what you want or are interested in! (Which is everything! lol)
• You are talking!!! You babble ALL DAY LONG, and even have several words now... Momma, Dada, light, hi, bye!
• You clap when you see other people clapping and imitate other actions as well.
• You are a super crawler! In fact, you are the Lightning McQueen of crawling! It is amazing how fast you can get from point A to point B!
• You're not so sure about this whole sippy cup thing...
• You LOVE your big brother so much! You think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread! You smile so big whenever you see him! I LOVE it!
• You are a Momma's boy, big time!! I love it, I love it, I LOVE it!!! Especially since your brother is a big time daddy's boy! lol  I'll take all the cuddles I can get!
• You think you are part monkey! You try to climb on or up EVERYTHING!
• You're the happiest baby on the block! You are literally smiling or giggling all the time! I love that quality about you! You just light up a room!

What a great first year it has been! You are such a blessing in our lives, and we thank God for you EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.  We can't wait to watch you learn and grow for many more years to come! We love you infinitely and are beyond blessed to call you our son! You and Connor are our whole world!!!

Happy First Birthday, Liam!!!

We love you beyond words!

Love,

Momma and Daddy
