A few photos from Holland's birthday.

6:53 PM

We celebrated with a backyard bbq surrounded by friends and family. Pie, sliders, mini hot dogs, pb&j, macaroni and cheese and a few other goodies did the trick. We ate and played to our hearts content or rather until nap time hit and all the kids hit a wall within minutes of each other ;) The party actually felt a lot like a marathon. Run, run, run, done!

You are one little man. Way to go.








He wore that hat for approximately two seconds, caught here

and then this happened, before it made it's way to his mouth and then, of course, the floor.




lunch date with grandma!






He loved every second of the birthday song. I wish we had taped it. All giggles and smiles, he may have even clapped for himself.


Happy one Holland!

He's ONE!

One year ago today you came into our lives and there is not a moment I am not thankful for. Happy birthday sweet boy.

Today our Holland is ONE! Today also marks the end of my husband's SIX weeks off (hence my absence). No school, no work, just us. We loved every moment of it. And we enjoyed the last few moments celebrating our Holland's birthday as a family before Will had to headed off to work this afternoon.


Birthday breakfast, the park, and an afternoon cupcake for the little man. And somehow, come cupcake time, not a drop of cupcake anywhere besides his mouth. No squishing, no frosting in the hair, nada. Not even a smudge on his clothes. What?! Not what I expected. He ate it like an old pro and kindly signed to me when he was all done. Seriously, kiddo?

To finish the day, we headed a town over for our little man to spend the rest of his day with his best bud, and grandpa and uncle for an evening visit. I can't wait for party time Saturday. It's sort of like we are celebrating our little man all week and I LOVE it.














Holland Cooper, thank you for making this year the best year of my life. I can no longer imagine life without you, it's as if you've been with us always. You are an absolute gift. You're goofy and sweet, snuggly and mischievous, and a whole lot of boy! I couldn't ask for a better son. Just don't grow up too fast, ok?


Love always,
              mamma.
