Look Who's One!!!

Over a year ago our little one was born. We are so grateful that his birthmother loved him so much that she gave him a chance at a better life. I am sure she has been thinking about Devin alot over the past few days. Words can not describe the amount of love and gratitude that we have for this women that gave us our son. Thank You, Ana!

To celebrate Devin's 1st birthday we had a party at our house. All went well. I decided to make his birthday cake. This was my first time decorating a cake. Prior to this, decorating consisted of using icing from a jar and adding a few sprinkles. I have to give my great hubby some credit also. He baked the cake for me and I decorated it. It tasted wonderful and the decorating was ok, too. I decided on a Backyardigans theme for his birthday since that is his favorite thing right now.

This is what Devin has been up to:
He had his first haircut
Walking around and loving it
1 year checkup today and he weighs 21.5 pounds and is 301/2 inches long
Graduated from swim lessons
Turned One

Philip is going back to work next week. I am sure Devin will miss him a bunch! The good news is that Devin will not have to go to daycare as soon as we thought. My niece is going to watch Devin at our house for the next few months.

Here are some photos. Enjoy!!!!
