Baby boy turned one year old last week! What?!?!? He has turned into a little monster who screams, throws food, plays in the toilet, and tortures everyone (and STILL doesn't sleep through the night!)...but man is he cute!!! He also laughs, dances, plays, is taking more and more steps each day, and his sibs just adore him to pieces, and mom and dad also!!!
We had a shared birthday party with Ashtyn (10) and Taylor (3) on the day of his birthday. I made him a bunny shirt (the struggle was REAL on that one!), some bunny cupcakes and smash cake, and a few banners to decorate. Turns out I like to craft, who knew!?! We had a lot of fun at the party with cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles, bubbles, and glow sticks! Even Brittany and Bryan were able to join us (although I stink and getting pictures of everyone and regret it afterward!). Also baby Paisley, just 10 days old, was able to be there. Just two days released from NICU!
Thomas was lucky enough to be born right before Labor Day weekend so we had a nice few days to celebrate afterward as well. We went boating in Yankton on Saturday with G and G Koester and the Pick fam. And were able to relax and get some housework done on Sunday and Monday.
