The little Tonka Truck boy...

Here is the Birthday boy!

I still can't get over the fact that my baby boy is one!  The party went great, lots of friends, family and good food! 

He likes Tonka trucks!  We got him a Mega Block dump truck thing, big plastic truck with blocks in the back...  I had wanted to get him a real Tonka truck but I couldn't find one anywhere.  So, it was so cool when he opened a gift from some friends of ours and it was a classic metal real Tonka truck!  He looooves it!  It was so fun to see him pushing it around on his knees, so little boy!  The fun part is, they didn't even know he was having a Tonka party!  They said they were pretty worried when they walked in to see Tonka decorations all over, they figured for sure we would have got him the same thing! hee heeeeee!

He seems to have grown up in the last few days.  I don't know if it is me, just knowing that my baby is one... or the fact that he has been around other little ones a LOT in the last few days and is picking up on things.  James even notices it too.  Makes me sad... well, happy and sad at the same time.  We got braver over the weekend and he is eating a lot more things now!  This makes me happy.  He was mainly still just eating baby food.  We had tried other things in the past and he just did not like texture in his mouth... spit it right out!  So we gave up and just kept on with the baby food.  He is doing awesome with trying different things now!  I think it was just a matter of us actually getting brave and trying more.  That is just one of things that makes him seem more grown up...

I have also really been paying attention to how he plays too.  He really is playing now.  Love it.  I loved watching him interact with other little ones, so cool. 

It has been a great couple of days.

But man oh man...I am a mushy sap over my baby turning one.
