Dear Cooper,
On January 14th, 2010 you turned 1 year old! Your dad and I have been planning for your birthday all year. We knew we wanted it to be special, just like you! Your birthday party took place the weekend after your birthday, so your dad & I wanted to make your actual birthday a special day. Your dad and I took your birthday off work so that we could spend the whole day for you.
Your dad and I set our alarm so that we could wake up before you and greet you with the “Happy Birthday” song when you woke up. I don’t think you knew what we were singing, but you sure were excited to see both of our faces that morning!
Next we headed downstairs to see your presents. You got a mega blocks table and a Radio Flyer wagon!
After you spent some time checking out your gifts, I made a special birthday breakfast just for you – pancakes! You gobbled them up. I’ve decided to start a special tradition of making you pancakes every birthday morning. As much as you loved your pancake breakfast, I think you loved your Mickey balloon just as much. This was a special balloon – when you hit Mickey’s face, he sang “Happy Birthday” to you. You made us play that again and again.
After nap time and lunch, we headed to the South Carolina aquarium. You loved seeing the fish! I can’t wait to take you back once you are walking and can explore a little more.
Later that afternoon, we ate an early dinner at Yo Burrito and then headed home for the most exciting part of the day…. cupcakes!
You were really hesitant at first, but once you got that first taste of frosting you didn’t waste any time. You demolished that cupcake in just a few minutes!
I tried to get you to share your cupcake, but you were not in a sharing mood. You wanted that sugar all to yourself!
After we got you all cleaned up, you burned off some energy by wrestling with Daddy. You were on a sugar high for about an hour, but eventually you settled down and drifted off to sleep.
We had so much fun celebrating your first birthday! Your dad & I are looking forward to celebrating many more. We love you, Bear!
Love,
Mommy
