Our Birthday Boy

It's taken me about a week to get our little guy's party pictures up.  I'm still a little stunned that he is already one!  Gunner has truly been a joy and a delight to nurture as he grows and has become our "big boy."  His favorite word is still "baby" as he looks at pictures of himself or anyone else from his first year of life...he is a social bug, so it goes without saying that he was definitely the life of the party!  Brian and I happily took a backseat to our "big boy" on his "big day!"  Here are a couple of photo favorites (thanks, Mandi!)....hope you enjoy!

Gunner in his highchair in anticipation of his FIRST cupcake!

 Gunner digging in....frosting first, of course!

 "I'm not sure what to think of this green stuff, mom..."

 "Mmmmmm....it tastes great!"

 "Time to double fist it!"

 "Does anyone else want a bite? I'll share!"

 Gunner showing off his teeth with mom.

 Gunner's response to bubbles...

 ...mesmerized!

 Gunner opening his gift...

 ...boy, does the box taste good!

 Mom, Dad, and Gunner!
