Happy Birthday, Boston!

Having Boston last November was perfect timing.... harvest was wrapped up, Blake was potty trained, we had all winter to just enjoy our new baby. Little did we know, we'd have to schedule his next 18 birthday parties around blizzards and Thanksgiving plans. We had planned to have his party the day before, since my parents were headed out of town for Thanksgiving, but then due to the crazy blizzard, their plans changed and we rescheduled his party for his actual birthday, when the roads in Bingham County would be officially "open" again!

We had such a fun party with lots of grandparents and aunts and uncles. We ate pizza and then Boston opened presents to find toys, clothes, books, and his very own puppy blanket, which seemed to be his favorite. Boston got messy with his very own cake, while the rest of us enjoyed pumpkin roll. He wasn't too sure about the cake and mostly ate the frosting, but with his sensitive tummy, I wasn't disappointed that he didn't gobble it down!

And just as any other blogging mom would say when posting about their child's first birthday, "I can't believe my baby is one already." But, it's true. This year has flown by and it's been so fun to watch Bo grow and develop so quickly. His personality is definitely beginning to develop more and he is quite determined. Boston does the stairs like a pro and follows Blake wherever he goes. He's quick on his knees and likes to get into anything he's not supposed to, including the toilet, fridge, and the garbage. Troublemaker and all, we love him so much and enjoy his hugs and toothy grins more than anything. Happy Birthday, Boston! We love you!
