We celebrated Preston's birthday just recently and I wanted to post some pictures of our newly turned one year old. At the birthday party with my family, by the time we started eating cake, Preston was so tired and exhausted that he didn't want any cake, but only some yogurt...!!! I made Preston's cake and it was so delicious, chocolate fudge cake with chocolate frosting and some blue additions with a fabulous wilton frosting can. We had so much fun celebrating with him. He got some toys that were for his age...since he was still practically playing with his newborn toys and he even got a carseat!! He is growing up so fast and I am amazed at his sweet spirit and loving, cuddly self!! He has been taking steps lately and took 4 or 5 to me from Tanner yesterday. He doesn't walk all the time, because he still likes to crawl, but sometimes the daredevil in him will come out and he will prove you wrong. Tanner and I like to sit across from each other in the living room and have Preston walk between us...sometimes a little enticing is needed, but we do what it takes!!! On his real birthday, the 13th he did try some of Nana's white cake and loved it! It's pretty cute because he is turning into his own little personality...if he isn't done chewing and you try to offer him food, he will either, take out the food that isin his mouth if what you have looks better, or he will shake his head no and then finish chewing and when he is done he will open up!! Pretty cute!
Not too crazy about it!
Daddy, Mommy, and Preston all together!!

Preston's Cake!!
Playing with presents with Kirsten. He got this awesome train that has three cars and animals that sit in them and it sings and is super cute. The animals all have moving parts and the best part is that Preston thinks it is amazing. Let me tell you, the best place to spend less money, but get more toys for your dollar is Once Upon a Child. You may have to go every so often, but it's totally worth it when you find what you want.
Playing with the new dump truck we gave Preston!
Hmm, white cake and frosting...he loved it! Every second !

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Preston!
ReplyDeleteAre you guys going to California in July with Ken & Nancy? If so, I'm going to feel really left out! But that'll be fun if you are. It's good to see what you're up to now that you're blogging a bit more. ;)
Nice music! P man is already 1! I can't believe it. Glad I could give him his favorite gift...I feel special. How can you go wrong with trains and cool, moveable and bendable zoo animals. I have some pictures and a little video from the party that I need to get you.
ReplyDelete...BTW, That chocolate cake was fabulous! I might have to say that was probably the best chocolate cake I have ever had. Well, at least in the top 5 chocolate cakes...(that is a very elite grouping :) love you!
