Roman's 1st Birthday

Our darling Roman boy turned a year old on the 6th! I actually gave myself a deadline to have his baby book finished by his birthday... I didn't even start it til he was 11 months old, but I'm happy to report that I made my deadline & am very happy with how his book turned out! Anyway, I stayed up til 1am the night of the 5th cleaning/organizing the house & preparing for his party so that I could just spend his birthday enjoying him... & that I did!! We had a fun day together- despite his Dr. appt where he got 3 shots :(... (thankfully, it didn't make him grumpy). Roman's 12 month stats were 21.4 lbs - 50%, 31.75 in tall- 95%, Head- 90%. He lost a lb from his 9 month check up, but that's just because he's so dang active! He's still on the same curve since birth (tall & skinny with lots of brains) & healthy as a horse, which we are very grateful for! We had a REALLY fun party that night to celebrate him! Here are some pictures of the festivities:

Cake time:

I thought he would cry when we sang to him, but he just kind of looked at us & danced a little bit

Oh, & he took one bite of his cake & was done! The kid has never had cake before so I thought he'd go crazy for sure... not so much!

Thank you everybody who came & spoiled Roman- he LOVED all of his gifts & was so excited when he opened each one!
I honestly can not believe how fast this year has gone by, & at the same time can't remember what life was like without Roman in it. He is the biggest blessing in our lives & I can't wait for all the years to come that we get to spend with him!
