Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

My parents couldn't stay away and thankfully came up to partake in the birthday festivities for Myles' First Birthday----They thoroughly enjoyed their visit and Myles had LOADS of fun with them over the weekend---everyone was pooped at the end of the days and we all slept well.   here are a few pictures of Grandma and Grandpa having fun with Myles

One of Myles' favorite books is called "Peek a Boo Kisses" and he leans in and kisses each page ---here is he showing Grandma how to give loving to the book

Sometimes, just have to relax with Daddy

First Birthday!!!!

Can you believe it? Myles turned one year old!!!  This year has flown by sooooooo fast!
But lots of changes this past week---no more baby food, no more formula......and he can have cake!

We didn't go crazy for his birthday--he is only one and won't remember it, nor did I want to overwhelm him and ruin a special day---so we had a small get together with Phil, Karen, Addie and Kevin, and Mom and Dad came up from Florida.  Myles was center stage and played the part quite well having lots of fun.

He was quite taken with the decorations

  I made him a "smash cake" aka very large cupcake---and he had no idea what to do!

The texture of the frosting kind of freaked him out---then after a little help started to enjoy the cake

Not sure he is a true Burke as he was more interested in the toys than the cake---will have to work on that!!!  He really liked the chair that Aunt Karen and Uncle Phil got him....

it was a fun day all around! Now we tackled Toddler-hood and we can't WAIT!!!!
