Whose That Cutie on the Pumpkin?

Why Kellan of course. My parents have these huge pumpkins at their house so I took the opportunity to snap some shots of my cutie pie!

On a side note. We had a good friend get hit by a car last weekend. They had to amputate his left leg and now we just found out that they took his right leg tonight. I know many of you don't know him, but please keep him in your prayers.

Weekend Updates

Kellan took a nasty dig the other day at daycare. He smacked his face right on the corner of the rocking chair. I was told he was pretty brave though and didn't cry to hard.

I also have to show off his pimp outfiit. Here is Kellan with his Puma gear on and New Balance shoes.

Kellan also got to see his wife over the weekend, yes he has a pre-arranged marriage already planned. :)

Tim and I had a wedding this weekend too. We went with some good friends of ours. She is due in 6 weeks and looks great!

1 Year photos

About 2 weeks ago we had a great friend take our family pictures and Kellan's 1 year pictures. Em is so amazing, we've used her for all of our milestones. She took our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, maternity pictures, Kellans 3 month and now 1 year pictures.  Check out M Photography for a sneak peek of our pictures. (You'll need to scroll down just a little to see his pictures.)

Walking Proof

I'm a mom of a 1 year old

I still can't get over that. Where has this year gone? It seems like I blinked my eyes and now he's one. Some big milestones happened in the past 2 days. It's like he knew he was turning one because he started walking.....that's right. He takes up to 7,8,9 steps at a time. He's still a little wobbly, but I can't believe it. His favorite word to say is hot dog. It kind of sounds like ot doooogggg, but it's so cute. Here are some pictures of his 1st birthday.

Birthday cupcake

Tim's mom stopped by for an extra special bday gift. Kellan did like the gift even though it looks like he's ignoring her.

I played with mommy daddy

Ended the night with a bath and story.

Best birthday ever! Thanks to everyone who wished Kellan a happy birthday.

First Fair

Kellan and I headed back home to my parents for the weekend for the annual fair. Tim had a golf outing so wasn't able to join us. Kellan had many firsts this weekend. First cheesecurd (remember I live in Wisconsin), first 5K,first fair ride and first parade. He was such a good boy too for everything.

Some of my friends and I did a 5K Saturday morning. Don't get confused by that statement either...I am not a runner, never have been and never will be. So we walked, but at a fast pace.

P.S. My big boy turns 1 on Tuesday!

Kellan's Birthday Party

Before I start with his party here are a couple of other things going on with Kellan.

He found that toilet paper is his friend.

I've been brushing his teeth with my finger for about a month now, but when I was at the dentist last week they gave me a brush for Kellan. He does pretty well with it.

Now onto the party. My mom and dad came into town the night before to help with Kellan and food. We spent all morning making food and setting up tables. Kellan had a good nap that morning, but no nap that afternoon so I was unsure how he would be. He had his moments.

The wreath I made. Found the idea from Mrs. Foreste - thank you.

Centerpieces. We had a shapes and color theme.

Highchair banner that reads "I am 1"

Cake and his smash cake

He hated his cake...cried the entire time.

Bath after the cake

Overall, the party was a success. He didn't want much to do with his gifts either. Tim and I were exausted after the day, but know that Kellan had a great time. Hard to believe my baby boy is just about 1.
