He's one! I can't believe it! Our baby is no longer that, he's now a toddler. (although I'll claim him as a baby as long as he lets me have our post-nap mommy/gavin cuddle time. It's the best time of the day!)
We didn't have a big party for him on the 30th, we'll be having one a bit later once Nick can have a weekend off to really celebrate and family can come join us here. We did have a couple that we are good friends with and have a little boy that is two weeks older than Gavin over for dinner and some play time in honor of Gavin's 1st.
Gavin got to open a couple of gifts from Mommy and Daddy. The Lavassuers were nice enough to get him an awesome lawn mower that blows bubbles when he pushes is. He really is enjoying it, and keeps our rug mowed quite nicly! As you can see, he's walking with assistance now, which is an exciting developement. He got a fun play table from Mommy and Daddy, as well as a "baby laptop" (it made me laugh when I saw it, so he got it!) and he also got a pirate ship bath toy. The rest of his gifts are going to wait until the party to make their big debut, but for now, he's having a blast with what he did get to open.
As you can see from the above, the cake was also quite the hit. (although there really wasn't any doubt that he would like it.) 
He clapped for the cake, he giggled, he crammed more food in his face that I could have ever imagined would fit. He made the largest possible mess, it was fantastic. He giggled the whole time, and had a blast. It was really fun to watch him.
After eating the cake, he got a complete washdown in the tub, where I am most assuredly going to be finding cake for the next 6 months. I highly reccomend that you click on the picture to the left just to see the full detail of just how messy he made himself with the cake. It's quite impressive. I'm pretty sure the high chair will smell like icing for a long while, even though it has been hosed down and cleaned to the best of my ability. I never imagined that a high chair could take over an hour to clean. You learn somthing new everyday I guess!
Well, there's the wrap up for the 30th. Hope you enjoyed it! Keep checking back to see what my one year old is up to!
