Birthday boy

Samuel turned one on September 10th.  Hard to believe it's been a year already!  Since he really has no idea what's going on, we didn't have a big party for him.  We put up a few decorations, made a cake and wrapped a few presents, mostly for the sake of taking pictures.

Samuel seemed to be a little confused by the festivities, but enjoyed his cake- a gooey butter cake - especially since it was his first piece of cake and has had few other sweets.  Although, he didn't seem to like it anymore than his daily veggies, so we'll stick to our rare-sweets policy.




Since he obviously didn't know what to do, Mama helped him blow his candle out...

 

After cake it was time for presents.  First were blocks to learn shapes...

Then he got a onesie to match our John Deere Gator.  His first farm apparel...




And his final present was a barn activity play set.  It has a sheep, cow and horse to play with in the barn.  It also has various doors that open to make animal noises and plays Old MacDonalds Farm. 

All in all, he seemed to enjoy his day as he began life as a toddler!
