happy first birthday!

Mason,

Happy first birthday, Sweetheart! We made it. Hooray!!

We celebrated your very special day by taking you to the zoo. Daddy took the day off work, and we all had a blast together.

Yes, you're officially a toddler now, but you'll always be Daddy's and my baby.





You noticed the animals on this visit.

sea lion

elephant

cheetah

You marched around like you owned the place.



At 12:10 PM, the time of your birth, we paused for a quick picture and to sing happy birthday as you officially turned one.


We went out to lunch.


And you opened Daddy's and my presents to you when we got home.



This past year has been joyous, demanding, blissful, agonizing, loving, challenging, bittersweet, heart warming, and heart wrenching. It's been a wild ride, Cupcake. You're a handful, but we love your energy and snap, even though both of those personality traits get you in trouble sometimes. Thanks for being such a perfect little guy for us. Each day with you is truly a blessing, and not one that we take for granted.


And for now, Daddy and I are kind of birthday-ed out. Thank goodness we have a whole year to recover before the next one!

Love you always!

Mommy
