One Year Old!

Friday was Connor's first birthday. I can't believe he's already one year old. It went by so fast for me!
Waiting for his cake.
Josh was able to light the cake all by himself (I keep the lighter hidden for good reason).
Connor got his own personal cake to destroy but this was his other cake. It's supposed to be fish in the ocean. Josh had fun helping decorate the cake. Josh was more than happy to help Connor out.
Connor was a little hesitant to put his hand in the cake to begin with, which surprised me. Whenever I feed him he's always trying to put his hand in the cereal or baby food and then he smears it everywhere. He complains every time I get out the wash cloth to wipe him down and doesn't mind being messy a bit. Once he got into the cake he really seemed to enjoy it!
Even Sydney got a taste of the cake. She normally doesn't get to come in and clean up after Connor, but since I was going to have to mop the floor anyway I figured she could join the celebration.
We met Gary at his work for dinner and to feed the ducks and open presents. I wasn't really sure what else to do for the birthday boy since he's not old enough to really care.
We seriously made it about two steps away from the parking lot before the ducks approached us for food. We didn't even go to the edge of the pond, which I guess is a good thing considering Josh nearly fell in last time. There were a few ducks that were not at all scared of us and were eating out of Josh's hand, nibbling on his fingers and of course he didn't even care. One duck kept grabbing full pieces of bread out of his hand and then would run off with it so the other ducks wouldn't get it. They were just like puppies and would jump up trying to get the bread from Josh. It was so funny to watch.
Connor had to be put out of the reach of the ducks. Gary was holding him and one duck jumped up and nibbled on Connor's toe. It didn't seem to bother him, but we didn't want to traumatize him on his birthday.

Pictures Re-done

We had our family pictures done over since I didn't really like the other one that was taken. Connor was cranky the first time and they turned out much better the second time around!
