1 year old!

my baby is 1......to think that 1 year ago i was holding this helpless little baby that needed me to do everything for him! now i have a toddler who can do alot of things all by himself! Friday night (his actual birthday), We had a little family get-together for him. (MeMe, Poppy, Aunt Krystal, Cousin Harrison, Uncle Parker, Aunt Lindsay, Nonna and PopPop). he opened presents and had his first birthday cake. Once he took one taste of the icing, it was all over from there!! he started double handing it and shoveled it in!! we were so busy laughing at him, i wasnt paying attention to how much he was eating. before i knew it he had devoured alot of the cake! i was so worried he was going to wake up with a tummy ache or worse be sick for his party the next day. thankfully he slept fine and felt great:)
We had a "pig-picking" for his birthday party. it turned out to be so much fun. Brian and our friend Brooks, got up at 3:30 in the morning to start cooking the pig and stayed up all night by the fire:) it was SO YUMMY!! they did a great job! Body loved it too! we had all of our family there and quite a few friends from church....it ended up being ALOT of people. But thankfully we had tons of food:) We let brody have another cake and this time he knew what it was all about and dug right in the minute we put it in front of him! A friend of ours, made the most adorable cake for everybody else....it was a big john deere tractor....it was the cutest cake i have ever seen! she did an amazing job! He had so much fun having all of his little friends there and his cousins too:) thank you so much to all who made it so special!
