Rowen's First Birthday

Yay! My baby turned 1! I can't believe it went by so quickly. He is growing up way too fast and it makes me so sad. Can't they just stay little forever? We had a little birthday party for him the saturday before his birthday. It turned out great (although it stressed me out a little). But there were lots of friends and family there to help celebrate. Also we went to Rowen's 1 year check up the other day. This kid grows like a weed! 27 lbs and almost 33 inches tall! 95th percentile for both!

People who came to Rowen's birthday party:

Our friend Sabina and her kids Taya and Boston (don't know where her husbund was in this picture)


Our friends Ami and Antonio and their little boy Ande.


My friend Jamie and her little boy Julian!

Most of my family (some are missing in this photo)

Scotts parents and sister Holly

His monkey cake. Scott made it, can you believe it? He did it all on his own and did a pretty darn good job!

Getting ready to blow out the candles

Yum! He loved that cake. He love it so much he picked the whole thing up and gave it a kiss. Then it slid down into his lap (well most of it)

Eating more cake

Turned out pretty good! I thought it did anyway

The night of Rowen's actual birthday we took him to "As You Wish" and made a little monkey picture frame with his handprint. Daddy did most of the painting since he is the artist in the house. It turned out really cute. Afterward we went and got ice cream!

Finshed!

There was no one around to take a photo of all of us together so we had to take one separate with each of us.

Got a family picture at the end of the night when we got home though!
