Happy Birthday Bo!

It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing Bo home from the hospital. He has grown so fast and this past year has been such a blessing!

This past Saturday we had a family party for Bo at GiGi and Pop's house. Bo of course was very excited to see Ava when she got there. They stay together on Mondays and are so close! It is precious to watch them together. They really love each other!

The cake - for the adults.

We were so glad Mary Ellen could come. She is so great with Bo! Side note - I made the shirt Bo is wearing. So many people have little jumpers etc. made but a t shirt just seemed more practical for us.


If you have ever attended a family birthday at our house you will understand why the wax is fixing to drip on Bo's cake. My family thinks it is fun to sing lots of Birthday songs.



Finally the songs were over and Bo got to try his cake. He was not sure at first.


Ava was watching Bo so intently! We let her dig in beside Bo. We figured it would be twice the fun to watch!
Ava was very concerned about making sure that Bo got a bite of cake. She decided she better help him out and tried to feed him. It was PRECIOUS!

Bo got frustrated trying to eat and decided to just bite the cake.

I was surprised that Bo stayed this clean.

We had to get a picture of all of the cousins before cleaning up.


Present time!

Bo's granddaddy made him a special piggy bank. Our pastor gave us the idea of a bank that had 3 sections. One for tithing, one for saving, and one for spending. Bo's grandfather went the extra mile making a beautiful bank with engraved plates and all!
Bo had a great day!

February in a flash!

I apologize for not posting more recently, but Bo is consuming my time as he is into everything! Here a few cute shots of him I managed to get during February.

Rainy days were so much fun with his dinosaur rain coat. I think he looks so cute!



Bo is always so precious in the mornings. It makes it so much harder to leave him and go to work. Here are a few pictures I captured on the way out of the door one morning.
