Koen's First Birthday

My baby is 1! (Ok, he actually turned one almost a month ago I am just really late with posting it on my blog. Better late then never!) I can't believe how fast he has grown up. The other day I was going through his baby pictures and couldn't believe he was that little. I almost forget that we have gone through the baby stage. He is now a very active little boy who is in to EVERYTHING and definately has his own personality.

To start Koen's birthday we decided to do his first haircut. I had been complaining for a while that my little boy was starting to look like a little girl, but everytime I said I wanted to do it I experienced cold feet. We decided we would commit on his first birthday. Here is a before picture...
After...

He did really well through the haircut until the end and he decided then he was done. He is precious with either hairstyle, but I love boys with short hair. Then, we opened presents. He loved each present very much, and often we had to remind him there were more to open because he was content playing with the already opened one.

Next, cake! This is the best part of a first birthday, watching the baby attack the cake. Koen had a baby sized bundt cake from a fabulous store in Southlake called Nothing Bundt Cakes. Needless to say, he loved it.

He grabbed the whole cake and shoved it into his mouth!


This was one meal he was not sharing with the dogs. He ate the whole thing!

Lastly, we did some swimming. He absolutely loves to swim, so it was perfectly fitting to jump in the pool. Our wonderful little family. I feel so blessed.
