How is he already one?

Yesterday was Gavin's 1st birthday. How did that come so fast? I can't imagine our lives without him, he is the best surprise we've ever had. He got his balloon in the morning and loved it until about 10 minutes later when Zack popped it. Their balloons lasted for over a month, but they pop Gavin's within 10 minutes. It was hard figuring out his meals because like I mentioned he won't eat much. So for breakfast we had Oatmeal Berry Muffins and fruit.

In the afternoon we went to Surf and Swim. It was so much fun and perfect for the boys! Gavin was able to crawl all over and Zack and Austin were able to run all over the place. It was the perfect pool for young kids. We all had so much fun!

Then the boys all went down for naps while Aaron and I finished cleaning the house and I finished Gavin's cake and made dinner. Aaron and I were "strongly disagreeing" about something and I opened the cocoa container with too much force apparently.
Cocoa powder in the eye hurts, but it also ends an argument very quickly. :)

My family came over for some food and fun. I made sweet and sour chicken with lots of carrots, green peppers, and pineapple in it for Gav and a side of broccoli. Then Gavin got spoiled with some fun presents.

Gavin was not interested in opening his presents, but all of the other boys had a great time doing it.
And there has to of course be some wrestling.
I was going to do a cake of Jack Jack from the Incredibles because so many people tell us Gavin looks like him, but it was stressing me out too much so he got a monkey cake instead. I figured I would carry on the theme of animal cakes for their first birthday.

I loved how he picked all of the M&M's off first.
He was so funny he kept going down like he was going to stick his face in it, but then he would just pause like he was trying to do all of these photo ops.

I loved the first cake experience! Zack and Austin have always been sick on their birthday and wouldn't even hardly touch their first cake so I've always felt like I missed out on those pictures. He loved the cake!
We had such a fun day and love that little boy to pieces! Thanks to everyone that called, texted, and came over for helping us celebrate our little boy!
