Yikes! My boy is one already! It's been a good year. After having Ashton, I was pretty determined to be done having children. It was a rough first year. What is sad is that it wasn't Ashton at all. It was all me and my adjustment to motherhood. Then I had a change of heart and "made a deal" with God that I would have one more but if it was anything like my experience with Ashton (PPD, anxiety, etc) then that was it. Well, Tanner came along and this past year has been a night and day difference from Ashton's first year. No postpartum depression this time, which has been a huge help! I've enjoyed the baby phase this time around, partly because I know each phase only lasts for so long. I'm grateful to have Tanner and I know he will continue to be a blessing to our family.
We celebrated his birthday over two days due to some evening activities on his actual birthday. On the 16th, I took the kids to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Tanner loves climbing around their playplace and he loves the food. We didn't get Tanner a birthday present so going to lunch helped me feel like I did something for him.
That night, we got pizza (his favorite food) and ate dinner at a park. He was more excited to play than eat. After Ashton's swim lesson, he opened presents (more like Ashton opened them) and we skyped with family.
Loved the boxes!
More balls for our ball pit.
He enjoys skyping with family. His main objective during a skype call is to knock down the webcam.
Then, on Tuesday, we had cake and ice cream. I made him a football cake because he loves balls. Joseph is convinced he will be our little linebacker one day.
Used my new cricut machine to make a 1st birthday banner.
