Nelson's 1st Birthday!

Wow, It's hard to believe that Nelson is already 1 year old!  What a year it has been too.  We are so proud of him.  He's a good boy and has learned so much.  He's taking steps on his own and has such a sunny personality.  We love him more than ever. 

We celebrated his birthday with some family and he had a great time.  Grandma, Auntie Andrea, Uncle Jesus, cousins Sofia and Alexander came over, and we also Skyped with his Grandma and Grandpa in OH.  He had a blast.  Except for the cake...

Grandma made him a teddy bear cake.  He looked at it for a little bit, didn't really want to dig into it, and then started crying!  He was afraid of it. :)  He did get a taste of it though and did a little shiver because it was so sweet.  And yes, he got a little spoiled with gifts - but he is very, very loved.

He also got a plate of spaghetti the next night and made a royal mess.  I think he liked the bath most of all!

Happy Birthday to Nelson

So Sweet...

But it scares me!!!

Wow - my own wagon!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

My favorite: a ball!  This one with dinosaurs...

Cool, colorful overalls from Mexico

I love swinging in my new swing - thank you Grandma!
Already shooting hoops with the basket my Daddy got me.

How did I get so messy?

Ah, the perfect way to end a good birthday: some hair sculptures in the bath!
