Hi sweetie,
You are growing so quickly! You turned a year old on October 5th!!! Your birthday was on a Wednesday so we had you birthday party the weekend afterwards on Sunday October 9th.
I had been planning your birthday for months...your Dada though I was crazy! Finally, we decided together that the theme would be golfing... "Hole In One!" to be exact.
We sent invitations to all the families with kids near your age that we knew and almost everybody came to help celebrate little ole you!
Your Daddy set up a putt putt course in the back yard for you and we decorated in blue, white, gray and grass green! Every child who came got to make a golf visor with his or her name on it too.
All the food was golf themed...we had Fruit Par-faits, Chip-it-N-Dip, Club Sandwiches and Peanut-Putter and Jelly Sandwiches, In the Rough cups (veggies), Pond Water (blue jello with gummy fish) and of course cake and cupcakes!
Your Daddy's best friend Mr. Blake let us borrow his family's golf cart to take on rides in the pasture too!
The best part was your birthday outfit! You were too cute in your plaid Gatsby hat, golf t-shirt (that your KayKay made for you), khaki shorts with arglye socks and blue Chucks. You wore the entire outfit the whole time (except for during cake time)!
You loved having all your friends at your party. You are the friendliest little boy I've ever seen. You only got upset twice during the whole party. Once, you got upset when we grabbed your hands to keep you from grabbing the candle flame on your cake. Then, you got upset when you slammed your hand in your new toy computer. However, you recovered quickly each time and went on to have the best first birthday party ever!
You were the happiest little one year old in the world!
Love,
Momma

Hi honey,
Boy have we been busy lately! Between working in our big grown up world and spending every possible extra moment play, cuddling, discovering, feeding, bathing and chasing after you...not much extra time left for writing your letters. We've taken tons of pictures and a few short videos of you to keep up with all of your antics and accomplishments.
You are now almost 14 months old! I can hardly believe that your entire first year has come and gone already. You have learned so much in this short time. You are incredibly smart and your curosity is endless!
You learned how to crawl and quickly moved on to standing and then walking...now running! You hardly ever fall anymore!
You are beginning to learn how to climb up the stairs but going down is much scarier.
You can eat grown up foods (except no small hard foods like candy or nuts and no popcorn)...you even insist on feeding yourself almost all of the time!
You are using a fork but Momma or Dada have to load the fork with food for you...spoons are a little too messy right now though!
You have already mastered your sippy cups and you gave no fits whatsoever about saying bye bye to your bottle!
Your favorite foods are fruit, especially blueberries, mangos, bananas and strawberries. You also scream for American cheese slices! You eat almost everything we give you and your are doing great with your veggies too. I'm pretty sure your least favorite foods are beans and rice, you make the silliest faces when you eat theses...but sometimes you still eat a few spoonfuls willingly. You are a very good eater!
You know several "tricks" - you can wave "bye-bye", blow kissies, clap and high five!
If we are lucky enough you'll give a big, soggy, open mouth kissy right on the cheek (but if we aren't careful, you sink those little teeth right in too)! You've actually gotten notes sent home from day care for biting your friends
You are by far the best dancer I've ever seen! You love rock n roll and you kinda like Notorious BIG...don't look him up though...he doesn't sing very nice songs. However, your all time favorite song is the puppy song that your little fire truck toy sings to you. Whenever you hear its song you stop what you are doing a just break down and dance right then and there!
Your Dada and Momma are so proud of you!
Love,
Momma
