Happy 1st Birthday Jaxton!

Saturday, Jaxton celebrated his first birthday. There is nothing like showing how fast time flies like your baby turning one. This past year went by so fast! It seems like I was just posting about Jaxton's birth and now he is one year old, walking, and even climbing on the couch. And until his birthday we didn't realize how well he could feed himself with a spoon. Soooo may milestones all at once! But Jaxton has never been one to just stay still. And now that he is walking no one else is either. To help celebrate Jaxton's big day, Grandma Lawona and Aunt Kaloni came to visit. For his party Jaxton opened his presents, played with his toys, and enjoyed eating cake and sherbet. He even tried blowing out his single candle all by himself. And yes he got pretty messy.

We let him have at his cake. At first he just looked at it trying to decide if he could eat it or not. Then he decided to try a little bit of frosting. And when no one stopped him he decided to try a little more, and gradually he started eating handfuls. Pretty soon we had the classic 1st birthday cake and frosting covered baby.

After he was all cleaned-up (and his sisters and brother were in bed) Jaxton played some more with his new toys. He loved being the center of attention as Grandma, Mommy, and Aunt Kaloni watched, played, and laughed with him. Because of all the attention he was getting he also did a lot of showing off. We played peek-a-boo around the furniture which is not only his favorite game to play, but everyone elses' too because it is so fun to watch his face when someone surprises him. He played pretty hard until about midnight when he finally crashed. Jaxton's first birthday was offically over. What a fun day full of smiles, laughs, excitment, and cake!
