Cole turned 1!
This year has flown by... I still can't believe he's already one and toddling around. When did he grow up?
We celebrated his Birthday up in Ashburn with our families on February 2nd. We drove up the night before and got to spend some time with my mom. She just became an official "empty-nester" with Jason and Stephen at college and Laura and Tyler moved to Winchester, so we both appreciated the company.

I was up late that night making Cole's Birthday cake as usual. Amy had come over too and kept me company while I put the finishing touches on the cake.
If you know Cole, you know he LOVES anything with wheels, so I designed this little cake for him.
Chocolate and brownie cake with brownie wheels. I think it turned out pretty well!
And of course he needed his own little cake to eat as well.
We spent the next day with the Glass family celebrating Chinese New Year a week early (George was scheduled to work the following weekend) and then had a little party for Cole that afternoon at the Glass's house.
The Grandmas! And Jen. :)

Cole was excited about the cake:
When we started to sing, he couldn't stop smiling and looking at everyone. I love that he knew this was something special for him.
Wasn't too sure what to do about that candle...
...so Daddy helped him out.
Present time!
Monster trucks!
A larger version of his favorite book.
This has become a favorite toy for all three boys lately...
Somebody was enjoying their cake. :)
Book from Uncle Nate.
A popper from Grandma!
Another monster truck! He got two of these great cars from Grandmom and PopPop and Jen and Eric. They have buttons that make them move or play music and Cole LOVES them! He'll push them around all day and play the music or honk the horn.
After presents, it was time for Cole to eat his cake!

Yep, you eat it, that's right!
I love this face he makes. It makes me laugh every time.
He loves to use utensils, so I gave him a fork to use.
Success!
Happy Birthday, Cole! Thank you for being ours and being such a sweet baby. You bring us joy every day with your pleasant personality and mischievous antics. We love you with all our hearts and can't imagine our family without you!
He is too cute! And I am uber impressed with your car cake. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah! I love reading your blog, by the way, and am so impressed you already wrote about your newest baby. You're amazing!
DeleteCole is the first 1 year old I've ever seen eat his cake with a fork! I don't think I've ever even seen a 1 year old use a fork. The cake was adorable and looked delicious. I LOVE those pictures of him in front of his cake, he is so expressive! I wonder if he'll have a great sense of humor, because he looks like he likes to put a smile on people's faces:) Happy birthday Cole!
