We had a small celebration for his birthday. We stuck with an owl theme since Emmett still hasn't expressed any strong desire towards a theme of his own choosing. I made the cupcakes below with Aunt Katrina's and Grandma Pat's assistance.
We had a simple lunch of sandwiches, salads, etc. We were sure to include Emmett's favorite - pasta salad on the menu!
Rustin and I put together two small projects in preparation for the party. We hung his monthly owl photos in order on the mantle. We also put together a little slideshow of our baby boy's first year.
Not so sure about this hat Mom...
Enjoying his cake.. The poor guy was already SO tired by this point because of all of the excitement! It's tough turning 1 year old. He had a few bites of his cupcake. Not much of a fan. I would guess it is probably because I don't offer him things like cake, candy, etc.
Emmett received many gifts. One that he seems to enjoy so far is the "Haul 'n Ride" we got him. Ideally he would scoot around on it using his feet. So far we push him around on it. He could also walk behind it or use it to haul things around. We are hoping he will get a lot of use out of it in the future. :) I think he will. He likes to push the buttons to make it honk, etc.
After a long day of fun Emmett went down for a nap at 1:00pm and slept for 2+ hours. He's a good little sleeper... and a good little boy too! If you ask him if he is a good boy he will nod his head yes! It was wonderful to be surrounded by our close family. We missed Grandpa Nelson because he was at home fighting a cold! Next year he might be up for seeing more friends. Maybe we can even go to a park! :) We'll see..
