Happy First Birthday Theo!

This year has flown by. We have had a great day celebrating Theo's first birthday.

We went to the park this morning. We let Jack pick which park was Theo's favourite, and I actually think he got it right. We did lots of swinging which Theo is a big fan of.

We then had cake out in the orchard at 3 pm with some of our closest friends at Oak Hill. It was fun. Theo was not too interested in the cake - but did like the chocolate chip cookies. He hated his celebration hat - maybe that is because he has worn a helmet for 4 months of the last year. We cannot really blame him for not wanting a hat on now! You will no doubt notice the older brother swooping in to blow the candles out - which we had given him permission to do (he knows he cannot on his second birthday though!).

We ended the day with Pizza Hut as a family which both boys seemed to enjoy. We let Jack do the ice cream factory at the end. He shared with Theo, and needless to say Theo loved that. We are pretty sure Theo's first word is MORE - very fitting for a kid who loves to eat.

I agree that Theo is saying "MORE" and in a very commanding way. I never liked birthay hats either so maybe it is genetic.

I guess I'm going to need to watch out on the roads with Theo driving.

I thought of Theo all day yesterday and hoped he would have a wonderful birthday. Looks like he had a great time! Jack is so cute and such an enthusiastic participant in the party doings.

It is great how Jack wants to be so involved! And this car... what a great gift! I remember how much Biel enjoyed cars like this when he was that age... Remember when Jack got his truck and Biel did not want to stop playing and he just cried so hard when he had to? Good times!

I can't believe how old Theo looks. I guess it's because all of the latest pic have been of him with his helmet on. His hair is beautiful. What handsome boys you have. Happy Birthday, Theo!
