Connor's 1st Birthday!

We had a basketball themed party for Connor this year, of course! What else would it be?! It was toped off with basketball cupcakes, basketballs & decorations, with a sweet basketball court tablecloth. Only the best for our little man, he may be a little spoiled. But hey, he's the first the child ;)

the big birthday boy!

And yes it is loud.
But he plays beautiful music with one pitch ;)

^^He sits up on this ledge and plays. It's his favorite spot.^^

He loves his walker 

^^Excited to go to Grandpa Ellsworth's house^^

^^and he didn't even know that cake was going to be served^^

^^"I'm not sure about this red stuff!"^^

^^But it does taste good!^^

After a fun bath, and lots of fun with all of his uncles, it was time to head back home. He was pooped, and even stayed asleep when we transferred him to bed. I have never seen a more happy and tired boy all at the same time! But we love him dearly. He is just so precious to us, and our true gift from Heaven.

What a wonderful first year. We have learned a lot!
