to celebrate we went to the park for a picnic. grandpa cox flew into town for the day and came along for the fun. we picked up some KFC and headed to our favorite park in town - Cherokee Park. we threw down some blankets and enjoyed the beautiful day!
TOYS R' US was next on the agenda. will got to go thru the store and basically pick out the 2 toys he wanted for his birthday. all the family met at matt's parents as a central location for the party. we had chocolate fudge cake with chocolate icing and chocolate ice cream. will was so shocked at a little cake solely for him that he wouldn't sit in his new high chair and eat it! such a funny boy. he didn't even eat cake at all!
it's definite though that this little boy loves his noisy toys with lights & buttons! but his favorite of the blender, car, spinning animals & popping bubbles is the popping bubbles! he pushes it around everywhere, carries it with him to another room to play, and won't give it a rest. i'm glad he loves such a cheap toy!
happy birthday my sweet destroying angel! may your next birthdays be as much fun and excitement as this year. you have brought us great joy in the year that you've been in our lives with your big smiles, big messes, & big hugs and kisses! we love you!

and as always, our adorable son is eager to explore any new space. he's ready to move too!
