We had a fun time celebrating Josiah's birthday today. He woke up to a surprise of balloons. I had seen this in a magazine recently and thought it would be fun. I had 2 bags of 15 balloons but after blowing up the first 15 last night at about 11 pm I decided I would just stick with the 15. This may be a new tradition because the boys have had a good time with them today and I think Elijah will be upset if he doesn't have balloons on his birthday. And as luck has it I have 15 balloons left over (as long as Shane doesn't request balloons on his birthday in a couple weeks).
We also got the annual birthday shot in Daddy's Kansas City Chiefs jersey.
He let me get a good shot but he was quickly done with it and finding his way out. Elijah then had to put it on and told me to take his picture but I told him that he would have to wait until his birthday for me to take his picture.
Josiah at 1 year.
We had an early dinner and then headed to the mall where we saw Toy Story 3. All 3 of the boys did great! Josiah sat in Daddy's lap, Elijah sat in a chair (between myself and Tim, Shane's summer intern), and Noah sat in my lap. Daddy did have to make a quick bathroom run with Elijah but they didn't miss much. They all watched the movie and were content the whole time. We are truly blessed! After we got back home we sang Happy Birthday to Josiah, he blew out the candles, and had ice cream and cookie cake.
Then he opened his gifts of a Toy Story book and some Toy Story legos. They wanted to play with them but it was bed time at that point.
It was a great day and we are looking forward to getting to see what Josiah will become over the next year.
