1st Birthday!

~Beckett~

Happy 1st Birthday!  We just can't believe you're 1.  How did that happen so fast?!  You really have been the sweetest, most smiley, happiest baby we have ever been around.  

Here you are telling us you're "So Big!"

Hudson took this picture and I thought he did really well

We celebrated your birthday a day early and had a great party

I taped pictures to the dining room walls of the past year

You have very generous family and friends

All of the kids gathered around to help you open your presents

Your cute little smash cake

Some more decorations

Singing Happy Birthday - you went right for the candle

Not quite sure why everyone is staring at you - once you tried your cake, you decided it was really good and went for it - love your baby blues in this picture

You had a few kid taste testers

Loving your cake

On your actual birthday was baby dedication day at church.  This is a chance for parents to commit to building a Christ-centered home that will spiritually nurture your child to love God and love others.   

Thankfully they do it pretty fast - most babies were losing interest fast

After the ceremony

You are such a loving baby, you love to give and get kisses, you love blowing kisses.  You love waving and giving high five.  I thought you were going to be a Momma's Boy, but I think you're going to be a Daddy's Boy, too.  You light up when he gets home and just start yelling.  You love feeding yourself.  You are still walking around furniture, but not actually walking, yet.  You're still a good night sleeper, but not exactly the best napper, still 2 naps/day.

You weigh 20# 4 oz = 16%

You are 30.25" = 64%

You head is in the 25%.

You are our sweet precious gift from God.   We love you so much and pray big prayers for you.

Love, Daddy, Mommy and Hudson
