Palmer is One!

A year already!  I should know by now that these years fly by too fast, I just keep hoping that one day I’ll wake up and time will just slow down.  I can’t believe we have already celebrated our third baby’s 1st birthday.  Our precious little p-nut is One and we had so much fun celebrating his special day! 

The theme was centered around Palmer’s invitation which said, “One blue elephant, One red balloon, one little boy, is turning One soon!”  We decorated with red and blue balloons, had a blue elephant piñata, a bubble machine, bean bag toss, ring toss, and of course the duplo table.  It was such a sweet little party for our perfect baby boy.  He loved playing outside in the yard and eating as many snacks as he could get his hands onto.  His guests included Ben and Avery, Cohen and Henry, Ava and Conner, and Jack and Presley.  Happy 1st Birthday, Palmer Stephenson.  The light in your eyes and love in your heart makes the world a better place and each day with you is simply a blessing.  We love you more than you’ll ever know! 

When you end the party in just your diaper,  It’s safe to say it was a pretty good day!!! 

Palmer at One:  He is 22 lbs. of non-stop action, the boy is always moving (walking, running, climbing, dancing, clapping, waving), his puppy dog eyes twinkle all day long, his vocabulary consists of “da-da” (which means daddy, bye bye, and thank you) and we know which one he means by the inflection he uses when he says it, “ba” for ball, “ba ta” for bath time, “all du” for all done, “uh oh”, and “haa” for hot, when we ask for a kiss he gives us a big ol open mouth one, he falls asleep holding onto his Piggy and Bunny and when we get him out of his crib he grabs one of them by the hand to take with him into the living room, his favorite foods are all fruits, he especially likes watermelon and squeezable applesauce, Palmer loves going to My Gym with Leo, he signs “more” if he wants some more to eat, he can swim but when we go to the pool he prefers to hang out on the side with just his feet dangling into the water, he still drinks 3 bottles of milk each day, he’s constantly waving bye to people, he runs to mama and buries his face in my lap or neck if he’s scared of something, and he loves balls!  Palmer is definitely all boy and we love every inch of him!
