Birthday Boy

Today was the best day of my whole life! Well at least yet to come. Today was my 1st birthday! I'm a whole big year old. Mommy stayed home with me today so that we could play all day long. Mommy had lots of treats for us to do today. It started out with my favorite yummy apple cinnamon waffles. Mommy and I played and sang songs in the morning and then I got to have my morning snack. Daddy called and wished me a happy birthday, I wanted to talk to him but mommy said I couldn't since my hands were sticky and crummy from my cereal bar. After my snack I took a nap 'cause mommy said it was going to be a long day. When we woke up I ate lunch and we were off! We went to the mall to walk around since it was so hot outside. Mommy said since it was my birthday that I deserved a birthday outfit and she found a really cool outfit that I think makes me look sexy. I can't wait to wear it for my party. The ladies at mommy's favorite store (Williams-Sonoma) gave me a raspberry strudel since I was being such a good boy, and now I know why mommy loves this place - it was yummy! We finally left the mall and stopped at Target (another one of mommy's favorite places), wait a minute I thought this was supposed to be my day? Oh wait we got some finger paints, oh boy I get to be picasso again. (See the Birthday Paint post) After our adventure to Target we came home but I was kinda tired so I took a nap. When I woke up boy was I starving. Mommy said I was in for a special treat, we were going to McDonald's for my very first happy meal. Yippy! Mommy and I were very disappointed, I guess since mommy doesn't eat there she didn't realize and well how was I to know that they don't put the happy meals in the boxes anymore.
Mommy was very upset about this and I can understand why, these paper bags take all the fun out of it, they're not very cool looking either. At least the food inside tastes just as yummy, or so I like to think even though I'd never had one before.

Ok mommy I'm not sure what you're up to but I'm ready to eat now thank you.

Happy meals are right, they make you happy! This hamburger was amazing and the french fries were sooooo good! Oh I can't believe how great this tastes!

On our way back home we stopped at the grocery store for my very own birthday cake. Mommy picked out one that looked delicious and I couldn't wait to dig in.


But mommy made me wait - and then she started singing. Silly mommy don't you know singing is for superstars like me? She sang this silly song about birthdays and thank goodness it was short.


At first I didn't know where to begin, this was much different than my first cupcake experience.

But I quickly overcame my delima and started with some good old frosting.

After that I showed the cake no mercy - it was to be dominated!

Come here cake and git in my belly!

The cake was so yummy but after a happy meal and all I was pretty full. Ok mommy please get down from there and clean me off. I'm done now.

My birthday was so much fun, I only wish daddy could have been here with me. Mommy told me as I was going to sleep tonight that daddy will be home tomorrow and I can't wait. It seems like he's been gone for forever, but it's been less than a week. If all my birthdays are like today I can't wait to have another one.
