Turning 1 is Dino-Mite

My last baby is now officially a toddler :(  I'm heartbroken and yet so proud at the same time.  I have always known I wanted to have kids and be a mom.  Now that I have 2 who are no longer "babies" I'm wanting another one.  However, there is a big difference in wanting a 3rd baby and actually having one.  I am 99% sure we have a complete family, which I am so thankful and blessed to have, but a part of me aches that there will be no more small, tiny newborns of my own to snuggle and hold.  We celebrated Jagger's fabulous birthday with a Dino-Mite party.  We were so blessed to have our family and very special friends at the party.  I can't wait to see how our circle of friends grow as Jagger gets older and starts to form relationships with other kids.  He was such a happy boy that day (like he usually is) and was fascinated by all the deorations and gifts.


We had the party at our house so I had to transform it to be party ready.  We did a party room in the dining room with the food table and Jagger's high chair for him to eat his smash cake.We had pizza, chips and dip, and red velvet cupcakes for all the guests to eat.
 

Jagger's smash cake was so adorable and made by a lady I used to work with.  She makes fabulous cakes and cupcakes.  He was IN LOVE with eating the cake.  I knew he would be.  Jagger loves to eat and is not afraid to get dirty.  This was the complete opposite of how Malone was.  We had to feed Malone her cake because she did not like getting her hands dirty.  Jagger dove right in and ate almost HALF of the whole cake.  Here are the before and after pictures of the cake.
We put the presents in the living room with Jagger's 1-year time line.  I did a time line of his pictures at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months in order to see how much he has grown and changed.  Jagger was blessed with a lot of clothes for this spring.  He was not interested in opening the presents, but luckily all of the other kids who were at the party were very in to opening and they did most of it for him.  :)
I am so grateful for this wonderful year we have had with Jagger.  He has blessed our lives in ways I could have never imagined.  I love you Jagger-man, forever and always!
