And then there was "1"

Well, our baby boy has turned the big O-N-E! Can you believe it...one! It just seems like yesterday that we never thought we'd have a little one of our own, then we got the news that we were having a baby and then there he was in all his glory.
This little boy is quite a handful I tell ya. He is so unbelieveable. He is extremely independent and headstrong. Talk about being funny and having a way of making us laugh. I guess it's time I get a notebook together to write down all of the funny things that have been happening.
I guess I better write about his birthday party. It was awesome! Thank you so much to everyone that was able to make it out as well as those who sent birthday wishes. On Friday, Jan. 30th Renner's Nana & Pop from Georgia flew in for the big occasion. After a yummy lunch at Chuy's we, along with Daddy, went to Aunt Stephanie's hair salon where he received his first big boy haircut. Mommy got choked up, but held it together. I made sure to keep his beautiful locks that were cut off.
The next morning we were busy getting ready for the party. It was a Winnie the Pooh theme and way cute! After getting all of the decorations & food together it was time for the party to begin. Renner received all types of bath toys, pool toys, clothes, books, DVDS and $ for his car seat. We had about 40 people in attendance. We are overwhelmed by the amount of love that was shown by our friends and family. Along with our family from Georgia we also had friends come from as far away as Austin & Bossier City. Some of Renner's friends were able to make it as well. Thank you Jayden, Alex, Buzz, Colton, Delaney, Sadie & Alyssa for coming to Renner's party. He hopes you had fun! Okay, so the funny parts. Renner received this purple vibrating ball that rolls on the ground. He got scared and all of the little ones starting crying. Poor babies. Then I was thinking Renner would get so messy with his cake, but he didn't. He didn't know what to think about his cake. He ate a little bit of it but it pretty much looked the same as when he started eating it. Who knows...he may be like his Daddy and not like sweets that much.




A couple of weeks before Renner's birthday we took him to the duck pond in Summerwood. He had so much fun looking at and feeding the ducks. We hope to take him back soon. Ryder liked it too!




This weekend we are looking forward to Renner's 1st Birthday party out at his Gran & Pa's in Hardin with his Van Dorn/Rawlinson family! This boy is going to be partied out...but we know he's loving all of the love. Until next time...
