Kooper's 1st Party Sesame Street

I started this post a while back but something happen to my phone and it cut off and I lost it :(

So I may ramble trying to remember everything and making sure I don't miss anything about his party.

We had Kooper's party a few days before his actually birthday. It was Sesame Street theme and I think it turned out just perfect!!

Elmo the cup cake cake. I loved how it turned out! Bradley's aunt made it for us. She's so talented.



The main table. Full of cookies, fruit, veggies, goldfish, & cup cakes.



The cookie monster station. There were Oreos, chocolate chip, & oat meal.









Goldfish area. We bought a real goldfish for the party and for the kids to have as a pet (somehow its still alive to this day lol) We named her Dorothy just like Elmo's friend on Sesame Street.









This might have been my favorite station. Oscars Trash. We found a 6 gallon tin can and I filled it with chex mix aka "Trash". I also had a bowl of gummy worms. On Sesame Street Oscar has a friend worm named slimmy.









This was just a decorated area. Best Buds, Bert & Ernie. I had a bowl full of water with rubber duckies floating in it. Ernie's favorite toy is his rubber duckie. Bert's is his pigeon.



This was the Reading spot. I bought a lot of Sesame Street book for the kids to take home. I set Big Bird in a "nest" with a book, because Big Bird loves to read and he had his pal, Snuffy next to him.



That was all the decorations. Here's the rest of the party and guests.
The birthday boy and his papa. He had just woke up from his nap when everyone arrived.








He did not want to open gifts.


He just wanted his papa...like always.





Now for the cake smashing time. Enjoy all the messy pictures...






























After a good scrub down, that he cried the whole time getting, we headed outside to play in his new truck. Memaw and Pappy bought him his first truck! Brad and I are hoping they will buy him his next truck too...in 15 yrs ;))






Carrying precious cargo!!





After a few rides he relaxed on the driveway and checked his emails on his new lap top






And ended in papas lap...again!



It was a wonderful party! I was so pleased at how everything came together!

Just for fun I did a few comparison pictures of the kids on their first birthday parties. I think they resemble a lot of each other.

Happy 1st Birthday Kooper

Yesterday our sweet boy turned one. I can not wrap my mind around how this year has flown by. I seriously can remember everything about the day he came into this world.



It's been a wonderful year. Lots of sleepless nights but I would not trade it for anything.



Kooper has brought such joy and love to our family and he has made it complete!!



He's a spitting image of his daddy. Or so I think he is. Some people think he's looks like me, but I can not see it.



I'm not sure what he weighs but I'm guessing 25lbs. We go for his 1 yr check next week.



He's wearing size 12m clothes and some 18m. I've started putting shoes on him because he's walking some and he's wearing a size 4. He wears a size 4 diaper.



He is eating better, not as much as I would like but some is better than none.



His sleeping is so different every night. One night he'll sleep till 4 or 5 am and nurse and go back to sleep till 8:30. Then there's nights like the night before his birthday he was up every hour. He's had a few nights were he's actually slept the whole night!! I'm praying we will get more in the very near future!! This momma is tired



He's walking!! He started walking at around 11, 11 1/2 months. He still crawls more than walks but that's ok.



He doesn't say much, just baby noises. Sometimes, we will get a dada momma and he says "I dye" for bye bye and he will wave his hand.



He has started to love bath time. It took a while but he finally enjoys it.



He is head over hills for his pawpaw. He will pick him over me and anyone else on most days.



He still nurses...all the time! I'm trying to wean him but I don't think he's interested in stopping anytime soon. I give him milk sometimes but he will defiantly fight me at nap time and bed time to nurse.



He takes good naps for me. On days Kynlie has MDO he will take two good naps. Since we are on break from MDO for a few weeks he's sleeping in and only taking one long nap during the day.



He has a mouth full of teeth. I think his far back ones are coming in because he's extra fussy and keeps biting his whole hand.



He is such a blessing! I can't even begin to think how we could live with out our sweet boy!! I love him so much!!



All of these pictures I took a few weeks before he turned one. They were taken at last minute at my n laws. His knees were very dirty, he had a full diaper, & the chair was unfinished. But they turned out perfect and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Happy 1st Birthday sweet boy! We love you so much!
