What a PERFECT day to celebrate our little sweetheart turning 1!!!
It was exactly the same weather as the day he was born, making it feel like deja vu from exactly 1 year ago: hot, humid, overcast, and a little rainy! What a great day!
There are A LOT of pictures, so I will let them tell the story of Griffin's special day!
Up at 7 for a delicious breakfast of Belgium waffles with boysenberry syrup and milk! Yum!
Smiley boy.....Wakes up happy, and is happy all day long!
Then off to open some presents!
Yea, he likes that idea!
Not sure what to do at first!
Cash was eager to help!
What is it?
COOL!
Not sure what to do!
Don't worry, Cash was on to the next one!
Look what it is Griffin!
Fun times with the presents....Cash was WAY more excited to play with them than he was!
Although he caught on quickly!
And soon was really enjoying the cool stacker toy!
Cash thought the train was for him!!!
And got right to play with it too!
After a quick nap it was off to the pool!
Chilling and having a blast!
Loved this pics for his little toesies!
He LOVES the water and relaxed in his tube for about 2 hours!
Pool time is the best!
Then it was home for a nap while mommy and Cash worked on his cake!!!
It only took about 5 hours.......but it turned out awesome!!!
Next was his birthday dinner of pizza and watermelon, followed by more presents!
Cool ring set!
Grammy gave him a way fun bath toy.....Cash also was more excited about this too!
A new puzzle!
Both boys at work on it!
Cheese!
And then it was time for him to get to go at his cake!!! I was a little sad at first to cut into this masterpiece after so little time of getting to look at it.......(however, right before this the back fin had started to pull away and fall off so that lessened the desire to hold off!)
We lit the candle, sang the song, and handed Griffin the cake!
Daddy and Cash helped blow the candle out!
He didn't know what to do with it at first, and cared more about just getting the donuts (aka tires)
Then he got a little bit of it on his fingers....although he was very cautious the whole time!
looking for help as to what to do next!
what's on my fingers?
Hmmm....tastes pretty good!
Or maybe not?
Daddy took the cake off and decided to just cut him his own slice!!!
Now he was getting into it....sort of!
Yum!
I'll take a little bit!
I can hold the fork myself!
Pretty tasty!
maybe the fork is more fun!
I am not really hungry because I ate 2 full pieces of pizza and a LOT of watermelon!
Done!
Tiny hands holding a fork are the cutest!
Still it's fun to make more messes!
Happy Birthday to my baby!
Let's be done and go get in the bath!
It was a great day!
We are all happy we were lucky enough to get this little guy to come into the world a year ago in Beijing, China to be a part of our family! Happy Birthday baby boy!!!!!

That cake is seriously AMAZING!!!! I still can't believe you made that thing! You should open a bakery.
He is so cute!!! Can't wait to be home to hug him! The cake turned out amazing. My hope is if I hang out with you enough some of your creativeness will rub off on me :)
P.S. Shawn even saw me looking at this and said "Cool cake" and was way impressed you made it!
Happy Birthday Griffin! That is weird he is already 1-it really seems not too long ago that you were contracting like crazy forever:) He is so cute and that cake is very professional-I can't believe you made it!
