This week was Benjamin's first birthday!! We celebrated the momentous occasion with a visit from Grandma, his first bite of cake, and a dinner at Red Robin (one of the few non-smoking establishments in this state). Later in the week we also went to a nearby beach. Benjamin seemed to have a great time. He also got plenty of cool presents and new clothes. What a lucky kid!
He also managed to fall face first on a pine cone and cut his cheek just in time for all the pictures. :) So, that's what the marks on his left cheek are, in case you're wondering.
Here are some of my favorite pictures:
We decorated the kitchen the night before and surprised him with the cake and decorations in the morning. As you can guess, the streamers were his favorite.
His first taste of cake. Chocolate with chocolate pudding on top. Guess who made the cake? :) Surprisingly, he stayed really clean. This is as messy as he got.
He got lots of birthday cards and loved looking at all of them.
Then we went to Red Robin. He had a blast playing around, but his favorite part was when they brought out the big icecream and sang to him. He clapped as they approached, but once they started singing to him, he was too enthralled to do anything but stare.
Later in the week we went to the beach and played in the grass.
All that excitement left him pretty worn out in the afternoons.
Just a few more cute photos of our fun week.
