Happy First Birthday Cian!

How can it be that entire year flew by in a blink of an eye?

Weren't we just in the hospital looking at you for the very first time?

And now, here we are.

This little ball of energy at times

and other times the calmest kid in the room.

We can't believe you are already a year old.

Happy Birthday Cian! We are so happy being your parents -

you bring us so much joy and laughter!

Here are some pictures on how we celebrated Cian's first birthday...

Soooo someone (cough, the McReynolds, cough) sent Cian a GIANT ball pit.
Cause he loves balls.
And our house is not huge.
Thank god, Cian (calvin!) was just as happy as can be playing in
the shipping box the balls came in. Cause the ball pit (and the additional
200 other balls) needs to wait until we have a finished basement
or its warm enough outside. Its freaking 4ft tall and 4ft wide!

I love seeing Brian assembling toys for our son. Cutest thing in the world!

Cian's birthday dinner. Fries from McDonalds.
We wanted to give him a special treat since he normally eats
ham and peas. Big mistake. Big.

We got Cian a tickle book that comes w/ monster gloves that tickle him.



They were a big hit!

Cian with his birthday cupcake. The frosting was whip cream,
which Cian liked. It mixed sooo well with the grease from the fries.
Cause everyone likes to spend their first birthday throwing up- right?
Mom and Dad Fail! Who makes their kids throw up on their first
birthday by feeding them McD fries and a cupcake for the first time?
Losers!

Before he threw it up though, he seemed to enjoy it!
