Happy 1st Birthday Canyon!!!

Ok. It is official. I have a one year old! A toddler! I have very mixed feeling about Canyon turning one. Don't get me wrong, I love how much fun Canyon is at this age. He has his own little personality that develops more and more each day. This has definitely been the most rewarding and most challenging year of my life. I love being a mom! But part of me is sad that this past year came and went so fast and I no longer have a tiny cuddly baby. How time flies! Anyway, we had a little birthday part for Canyon and he got a load of goods from his grandma's, grandpa's, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Canyon is definitely loved!

Here is Canyon's birthday cake. It is a Finding Nemo cake. We thought it was the cutest one. They also gave Canyon a small round cake for free and just for him. I love Macys!

Canyon is playing with a puzzle he got for his birthday. If you look closely you can see his birthday shirt. What a cutie!

Canyon wasn't quite sure what was going on when we were singing happy birthday to him. That explains that shocked look on his face:)

Canyon loved the fact that he could just start eating a big cake. He was timid at first and then he really got into it. In fact, we had to take it away before he got sick.

The proud parents of a one year old!!!

Canyon at 1:

Canyon weighs 18 lbs 8 oz. He walks around everywhere and can even stand up in the middle of the floor all by himself without having to pull himself up onto anything! Canyon says dada, mom, mama, uh-oh, wow, oh, baba, and kitty (well almost, it sounds like kee kee). Canyon loves books and sits and turns the pages over and over. He also is the graham cracker monster!! He will stand at the cupboard where he know the crackers are kept and just start yelling until someone gives him one. Little rascal. Canyon is a little daddy's boy and cries every time Daniel has to leave for work. He gets into everything constantly and is now trying to climb up on everything too! He loves to explore new things. When he finds something that he thinks is cool he says "wow!" over and over again. He shakes his head no if I ask him if he made a mess or got into something that he should have gotten into! He has a blanket that he is completely in love with. He like to roll around on the ground with it and give it loves. Canyon is also giving kisses and waving bye bye. He loves animals and even gets excited when he sees them on commericals. Canyon dances everytime he hears music. He is a sweet little one year old.
