Gav's 1st Birthday!

For Gav's big birthday, we gave him his first haircut, made spaghetti and meat sauce, and let him face-dive into his very first piece of cake! Since Gavin doesn't care for chocolate, and we really wanted something to stand out in the pictures, we made a yellow cake with some cream cheese frosting.... and blue food coloring!! (Mommy and Daddy wanted in on the action, and had some fun smearing it on each other, too!)

After dinner, Gav took his bath (which he refused to sit down for) we had time for a couple quick pics, and then our little guy went right to sleep! I was a little disappointed that we couldn't watch his first sugar-rush... but tuckered out Gav just wanted his crib!

This Sunday we are having a party with some family and friends to celebrate again, but with Gav's rough start, this day was a HUGE triumph for our new family--it meant a lot to spend it with just the three of us. You only have one first birthday!
