Jaron's Birthday Celebration

Jaron had a great first birthday.  The girls helped me make pancakes for him that morning. He loves pancakes, even without the syrup.  We then gave him his first present, a slide and little climb on toy.  He loves it.  Jaron is such a climber that I knew he would like it and sure enough he climbed right up it and plays with it all the time.  The girls of course think they have first rights to it but I keep reminding them it is not theirs and they need to let Jaron play on it.

We also gave him a small basketball hoop which I didn't think he would care about that much until he could walk more but I have him hold the ball and hold him up to the basket and he drops it in and just giggles his head off, he thinks it's the funniest thing.  When he's standing he'll even hold the ball up over his head to try and make a basket but hasn't been able to do it yet.  I'm sure he will as soon as he can walk with a little more stability.

That night we had a little party for Jaron with dinner, cake and presents.  I went with a monkey theme for his party and I think it turned out cute.  I found the idea for his cake on pinterest and I thought they turned out really cute.  I made everyone cupcakes and then Jaron got his own little 4 inch round cake.

Everyone was so nice and gave Jaron the cutest presents.  He is loving all his trucks, books, and toys (I love the clothes), and of course the girls are enjoying them all as well.

 

Jaron LOVED his cake.  I remember the girls at their party wouldn't touch their cake.  First went the marshmallow eyes and then Jaron just picked up a nilla wafer and stuffed the entire thing in his mouth.  I couldn't believe it fit in his mouth let alone he chewed it and swallowed it without choking.  Then he just kept eating and eating until almost the entire cake was gone.  Lots of pictures coming up, you can just skim, I couldn't narrow them down cuz I just think they're so cute.  Thanks Michelle for taking them all!

Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed celebrating Jaron's first birthday with us!
