On August 3rd we celebrated Henry's 1st Birthday. We had just barely moved into our new house the previous week and things were still in a state of chaos. But with a lot of help from my Mom, we were able to pull off a birthday party. Here are a few photos of the big day.
A monkey cake for our little monkey.
We decorated drums then drummed along with Henry's favorite book Hand, Hand, Fingers Thumb.
We gave Henry's stuffed monkey a ride on top of the parachute.
Then let Henry and all the other monkeys take a turn running under the parachute.
He did well with the present that was not wrapped but was a little unsure of what to do with the wrapped ones. He may have been a little overwhelmed by his large audience because he normally loves to rip paper.
Cake Time. To our surprise, he was a little reluctant to dig into the cake. You should see him work over a bowl of ravioli's, what a mess!
He did eventually warm up a bit.
Hey look, an airplane.
Trying out his new car.
He was one exhausted little birthday boy by the end of the day.Thanks to everyone for joining us and making it such a memorable and special occasion.
