Curtis' First Birthday

Greetings!

My little handsome man turned one. . . already. What the what?! Didn't I just have him, like last month? Pretty sure.

However, time seems to disagree with me and it never lies. Or so it says. ;)

At any rate, my wee little squishy dude went from itty bitty to large-and-in-charge way too fast for my liking.








. . .

We had a small shindig at our house to commemorate the occasion with some of our close friends and family. It was so much fun!

Well, Curtis didn't think so at first. . . He's kinda anti-social like that.

Kisses from Grandma were not reciprocated, that's for sure.

Dang those grandmas. . . always wantin' kisses. Who do they think they are?! 

Thankfully, it didn't take him long to decide that all those people weren't going to roast him on a spit, after all.

Before long, it was present time. Hannah and her friends were more than willing to help him open his presents while he played with the tissue paper and tried to eat the wrapping paper.





After presents, it was CUPCAKE TIME! At Hannah's first birthday party, she didn't want anything to do with her cake. Curtis, on the other hand. . .

Well, let me break it down for you.



1) "What's this stuff? Why is everyone watching me eat?! A little privacy, here. Please. Come on."

2) ". . . Ooooooooh. Sweet mother of pearl. It's like a little bundle of red-velvet heaven."

3) "Get in my BELLY!"

4) "Must. Get. More. Fingers. In. Mouth. MUST!"

. . .

Needless to say, he was a fan.

Stop growing, dude.
