Caleb had no idea this day was special. He woke up as usual. Didn't feel like taking a nap, as usual :), and was our sweet, adorable baby boy, as usual, but when the streamers went up and the balloons were out (thank you, Papa Wright), Caleb knew something was different. He LOVED it. He loved the visitors (thank you, those of you who were able to come. It meant so much to us to have you there), he loved the balloons and the new toys, clothes and shades he received and he LOVED the chocolate cake he had all to himself. Per tradition, Caleb got his very own cake and although he was dainty at first, he got the hang of it. Thank you, Grandma Wright for bathing him afterward so he could come back and join the party. It was a special day, and Caleb really enjoyed himself. Here's what it looked like:
The food took a long time, so I have to share! :)
It was a Sesame Street theme complete with Elmo, Cookie Monster and Big Bird (sort of) cupcakes.
THE cake....Before.
Caleb, lovin' life.
Really getting into the groove now.
THE Cake...After.
Ugh...No more chocolate cake...
We took a lot of video too, so once we learn how to get it from the mini DVD onto the computer, we'll post that too. Anyone know how?

Yay for Caleb! It was so fun to be there for his birthday. The pictures turned out great! About the video--I just figured it out on our computer the other day. If you want to bring it over after our walk we could try it.
Great post! I loved reading about the birthday traditions you guys have. The cupcakes were fantastic looking! I love them and fun pictures too. Congrats to Caleb!!
Happy Birthday Caleb! We are glad you had such a great day. We wish we could have been there. Those cupcakes and cake looked amazing. Becca, you are really good at that stuff! I still can't believe he is one. What a big boy!
Happy, happy birthday, Caleb!!! So sorry we couldn't be there, but the pictures are adorable! I can't believe it's been a year! Hugs to you all!!
