Happy 1st Birthday to my Sweet Boy!

My sweet baby boy will never remember his 1st birthday.

But I will.

I will remember his shriek of sheer delight chasing around the balloons.

I will remember Pinning anything and everything that was balloon-related or remotely round in shape.

I will remember decorating several days before his party only to realize he may love [pulling down] buntings even more than I do.

I will remember his beeline to the streamers the first time he saw them.

I will remember his giggle, grin, and glance at me as his guests put on party hats.

I will remember the look of wonder on his face as his parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas, and grandpas sang him Happy Birthday.

I will remember my mom sneaking him bites of real frosting instead of the whipped cream frosting I made for his cake.

I will also remember the look of disgust on his face when he had frosting on his hands.

I will remember looking for the correct blocks to spell "Happy Birthday" only for him to repeatedly sneak off with my blocks with that little mischievous smile of his.

I will remember him walking up to the pictures of himself and waving hi like he'd never seen this baby before.

I will remember the long nap he took that gave me ample time to chalk.

I will remember the sweet memories his family has with him.

 But most of all, I will remember that this little boy made me a mommy and has my whole heart.
