Cardon's 1st Birthday August 21, 2010

August 21, 2010
Cardon's 1st birthday was fun and exciting for our family. We woke up and cooked eggs with cheese, bacon and orange rolls for our little man. After breakfast was all done with and cleaned up we got all gussied up and headed over to JCPenney for pictures (I'll post those soon).

For lunch we had a little family party at our house. We made chicken salad croissants, 7 layer bean dip, pea salad, a fruit tray, special drinks, and of course Cake! Cardon got his own little cake and everyone else enjoyed matching cupcakes.

We went with a bright blue and green theme to match Cardon's outfit. It was so cute!
Unfortunately he was tired during most of the party since pictures took over his morning nap earlier. He still had fun with his cake and a few presents before completely passing out on his Nonna in the rocking chair.

We love Cardon so much and can't believe that a whole year has passed since he joined our family. We talk all the time about how we can't even imagine our lives without him. He is so smart and comical. He knows when there's an audience and always tries to put on a show.

His favorite things so far include:

taking naps with Grandpa
watching airplanes
jumping on the bed (thanks to Grandpa)
giving kisses to his Aunties
dancing
any kind of music
playing with puppies
eating everything (he's not picky at all)
taking baths
climbing up stairs
blankies, especially the fuzzy kind
saying "uh oh!", "Mama", and "Hi Daddoo"
