First Birthday

Really? It's already been a year? Slow down, Father Time, I can't get enough of this little baby and guess what? He's not even a baby anymore. Birthdays are usually week long celebrations in my family and Spencer's was no exception. It started off on his actual birthday last week with a cookie party at daycare. Wasn't sure what to think of the cookie at first...
...but by the end he was making sure he got every last crumb crammed in there.

On Wednesday the Segadelli Family came over for dinner, since Uncle Jesse wasn't going to be able to be at the big birthday bash later in the week. These two truly adore each other and they had lots of fun playing with the new dump truck

And then it was time for the big bash. Mommy had been planning this for over a month now, so it goes without saying that I was more excited than he was.

Presents were fun...

...but cake was better.

We just knew that the way this kid digs into food would make for an interesting cake smash - and he did not disappoint. I'm not sure how much he actually ingested since we never seemed to have a "sugar high" or crash. But it sure was fun to watch.

Happy Birthday, Spencer! And thank you for making this the best year of my life!
