Kellan's 1st Birthday!

Having a child is definitely right at the top of the list of best things you can ever do with your life. This whole last year has just been such an adventure. It is soooo much fun! Yes, there are challenging times, but really, it just keeps getting better! It's crazy looking back at these pictures now that Kellan is almost 15 months old because so much has changed already!
 
A few notable things about our sweet 12 month old:
 
He took his first steps on October 30th on a frisbee field, which is very appropriate.
He continued to take steps with assistance until his birthday when he decided he could do it all on his own! He did continue to prefer crawling for about a month before completely converting to walking.
He cut his 7th tooth (bottom right) on his birthday as well - it was a big day. haha.
Official stats: 29 lbs even, 32 inches.
His first haircut came a couple days after these pictures were taken - so be sure and enjoy the curly mullet in all its glory in these pictures as this is the last time it will be seen.
 
We were SOOOO excited about him unwrapping birthday presents! We figure he would love it so much and we were not disappointed! However, a couple things of note for the future: 1 year olds prefer bags and tissue paper to wrapping paper and don't open the coolest toy first - no matter how excited you are about it! No other toys will exist or matter afterwards.
 







 
I was so excited to make his cake! It took a while to decide what kind of cake I would make for him, but in the end I decided on a white cake with orange (flavored and colored) frosting covered in clementines - which are maybe his favorite things in the entire world.





 
We were quite surprised at his reaction to having a whole cake placed in front of him - Kellan loves his food. We fully anticipated him diving right in and loving it. However, he wasn't sure what to think of it and didn't know what to do with all the sweet. He made lots of funny faces and sounds of dislike before deciding it was okay to eat a little of it.




 
He did do a little better with it when we cut it up. He definitely seemed to prefer the cake part to the frosting part - boy after my own heart.

















 
Happy Birthday sweet boy!
 
It was so much fun celebrating his first year of life. I can't wait to see what the future holds. Raising a child is a trip to be sure. If you're on the fence about it, I say take the leap and have a baby. Life will never be the same again in such a wonderful way.
 
Without further ado, bring on toddlerhood!
 
End note: Big shout out to Marci Dawn Photography for the awesome pictures!
