Blake's 1st birthday {April 2013}

I just realized that I haven't posted anything since March. Not even Blake's 1st birthday! So here it is!

Robert and Kiera made 2 catapillars. I think they came out great!

His little party was only 2 hours but he spent his first hour like this. I had to wake him up.

 Mr. Shy Guy

It was a Quinoa cake and it was yummy (I thought). Though Blake didn't really want to eat food until he was 13 months (yes a month later) then food was like this amazing thing all of a sudden. haha

This picture makes me laugh, it looks like Domenic's drinking a cup of coffee. 

Kiera reading the cards to Blake

Love him!

 Since he was so shy with everyone watching I thought I would try the whole cake smash thing again. He wanted to share with Obadiah.

Here Mommy

He would squish it, see the intense look on his face. haha

He's such a sweet boy!

And of course the best way to end a warm day of celebrating is with splashing in the water.

I'm thankful for our little Blakie. Having him gave me this renewed love for babies and all their little stages and milestones and helped me to appreciate my other 3 children so much more. That might sound bad or odd but I am so glad we didn't stop at 3. Kiera, Nathan and Domenic adore Blake and are all crazy protective of him. I am so content and happy to be a mom of 4 and I love their differences and similarities. They will all be amazing world changers.
