Grant's Birthday

On the 13th, we celebrated Grant's 1st birthday. Here are a bunch of photos and videos from the day so that everyone that was not be able to join us can see the birthday boy!

The Manors got Grant his own chair for his birthday. He loves sitting in it and diving into it, and Cecilia is very happy that she doesn't have to share her chair anymore!

Some of the decorations. We went with a jungle theme for the party.

Here is the adorable cake that Sue decorated for us. 

The food

During the party, Paca Peanut was feeding Grant watermelon. You can see the reaction when he stopped feeding Grant and went to get him out of his high chair...

Unfortunately, we had a couple families that were not able to come to Grant's party. So Shayla and Evelyn were the only people that ended up coming, other than family. Cecilia and Shayla had a blast together, as usual.

Apparently, Cecilia and Shayla were also doing the "Grandma Peanut dance" which mostly consists of  Cecilia doing somersaults on the wood floors and Shayla rolling on the floor, trying to do a somersault. 

Our birthday boy

Grant is waiting for everyone to come over to sing. He's not sure what to think of everything yet...

He tried his cake, and wasn't quite sure what to think of it yet.

Grant was eating tiny crumbs with each bite.

Cecilia loved her cake!

So did Shayla!

We looked over after a while of Grant seemingly picking at his cake to discover that he had eaten A LOT more than we thought! He probably ended up eating more cake than his older sister did!

Later, Grant opened some of his presents. He seemed more interested in the paper than the toys.

Cecilia got to open a few presents from Aunt Kathi too.

She loves her bubbles

And her bath time butterflies and net!

Alan and Gaoder got Grant some cute books, including a Cheerios book.

Later that night, Grandma Peanut and Paca Peanut helped Grant practice standing up on his own. He can do it, briefly, as long as he doesn't think about doing it. As soon as he thinks about it, he seems to get a little scared and falls or sits himself down.
