My Baby Turns ONE!

A year ago today I was sitting in my hospital room staring at my third little boy. Connor Richard Willis! It is amazing how much he has grown in just one year. Chris and I can't imagine our life without him and he completes our family. I still haven't figured out his personality yet, I feel like it changes often, but bottom line he is such a happy, fun baby. We love seeing him grow and learn new things everyday.

We celebrated his birthday on Saturday evening with family and it was perfect. My mother in law came down on Friday for all the fun. We had pizza and cake and all the cousins ran around and played together. They have such a good time together. As I was getting ready for the party to begin I got really sad about this being my last one to hit this milestone. It made me realize he is getting bigger and I won't have anymore babies in the house and be able to experience all those fun milestones. I really just need to stop and really enjoy the time I have with him now.

Now for the funny part of the party..we sang happy birthday and he was smiling until I gave him the cake to eat. He looked at it and wouldn't touch it so I decided to put some icing on my finger and feed him some. I put my finger in his mouth and he gagged and then started to cry and never touched the cake again! I couldn't believe it and I was kind of bummed. I told Chris that we needed to do some DNA testing to make sure he was our child. The next morning I tried again to give him some thinking having everyone watching him was the problem, but he gagged again! Anyway, it was a great party. Today he woke up to the balloon in his room from the balloon fairy, Grammie brought him his first pair of shoes, we gave him our gifts, and then took him out for ice cream.....and he LOVED it! He liked it so much that would grab the spoon from us if we took to long in between bites. I love this kid so much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNOR!!
