Daniel turned 1!!!

This blog is mainly about Daniel's first birthday. However, it is very disjointed because blogger hates me (and I am starting to reciprocate) and will not let me pull pictures down and put them in the correct order. >:o First, here are just some random pictures.

Daniel and Aaron playing.
Daniel next to Aunt Kelsey on the piano. He loves to tap the piano keys!

Daniel meeting cousin Logan for the first time. Logan is so cute!!! Daniel is pretty good with the little babies- though he does have a tendency to steal their pacifiers.
With his birthday cake on his actual birthday. We celebrated his birthday on Saturday and had a bbq outside. It was super windy so we never got a candle lit on his cake. The next day, we still had extra cake, so we did birthdat cake part II- with candle. Yes, he did burn his finger a little bit on the candle (no blister or anything, but there was a short burst of tears).
Jen came into town right before Daniel's B day and it was SOOO nice having her here!!!!! The cousins didn't really interact much (they preferred to a. play with toys b. cry c. eat (in Daniel's case, that should be 'a') or, d. spit up), but the sisters loved being together! :)

Daniel playing with wrapping paper during the Saturday birthday bbq. He had fun at the bbq since he was outside and able to eat as much as his little tummy desired- pretty much heaven for the cute one. He once again didn't care too much about the fun toys (though now he plays with them quite abit- though, his favorite is probably the dishwasher).


Our happy family.


After he was starting to fill up on cake, he wanted to share with others- the great grandmas just happened to be close by. :)

With Nana!

With Grandma Pete!

We let him go to town on his piece of cake- he ate a TON and loved it!

More stuffing of the face.

Here is infamous candle lighting of April 2009. How many people does it take to light a candle on a windy day? More than we had apparently.

At first he wasn't so sure about the cake and only took little pokes. Once he realized that it was good and his usually anal mother was letting him eat whatever he wanted, he went to town (see above pictures). Notice the unlit candle. :(
I made his cake!! I am very happy with how it turned out.

Notice the failed cake pieces next to it- Silly Lindsay forgot that you should probably grease and flour (or even better use wax paper) on cake pans you want to pop out. But, then we had extra cake for his actual birthday.

Has it really been a year?! How fun! Cute Daniel pictures, and cute to have the three mommy sisters together :)

Hooray for a blog post. I LOVE the cake! Good job. Especially the cute 'D' piece.

He's so much bigger than cute new Logan. What a difference a year makes.

I love the cake! How do you do that?? I have tried to make a cute cake for Landon and it was a disaster. I guess I now have an excuse this year not to make him another failure cake. :) Loved the pictures - he really is adorable. It was so great to see Jen, even if it was for a few minutes. I hope she makes it back here again soon. :) Hey, it seems like I haven't seen you in a long time - I miss you! Come see me. :)

Cute pictures! I'm glad he got to have the full birthday experience with his lit candle. I'm sure it will take a few minor burns for him to realize not to touch that hot yellow stuff :)

I love your ABC cake blocks--such a cute idea, and great presentation! He is such a kick to watch in general, and was especially fun at the bbq!

Hey Guys!! I haven't looked at your blog in forever and I can't believe your little guy is already 1! He's so big! And great job on the cakes!
