More Birthday Stuff!

McCoy's birthday celebration did not end after our morning videos! We had such a fun day and I tried to make sure it was all about him! But then Kirk informed me that everyday is all about McCoy and I realized that is so true, but we don't mind one bit!!!

On Thursday night, I got out the video camera to make sure it was all charged up and ready to go. I started looking back at our old videos and although I love McCoy's sweet personality and the little boy he is growing up to be, it made me so sad to think of how fast it has happened. It was just a great reminder for me to make sure I enjoy everytime he climbs up in my lap to read a book, or doesn't want to leave my side, or wants to "help" me put away the dishes and fold laundry, because it's not going to be like this for much longer and I know I'm going to miss it! So, before I start completely bawling, here are some pics from McCoy's fun day!

Some of you might remember Mr. Frog...He's back! I haven't taken McCoy's picture in front of him since his 1st birthday so there was a big difference!

1 Month

1 Year...being bribed with the toy to sit still...

2 Years!...still being bribed to sit still!!

Calling the Hogs!

Hugs for his old friend, Mr. Frog!

At dinner, I made some of McCoy's favorite things, like parmesan chicken and mashed sweet potatoes. Afterwards, we put some towels under McCoy's table and he got to blow out candles again, on his mini Razorback cake!!! We're having his birthday party next weekend, but I wanted to at least have a little cake for him.

"Happy Birthday to me!"

"I've got this down!"

"Yummy!"

"I bet I can get a bigger bite than Daddy!"

And of course, we also took some more video. While Kirk was videotaping, I was taking pictures, so it definitely looks like he's surrounded by paparazzi in the video with all the flashes! I think he felt like it, too!

The first video is more "happy birthday" singing and him blowing out his candle. He used a little spit this time!

The second one is him eating cake and telling us how old he is!

Happy Birthday, McCoy!! We love you so much and hope that your day was really, really special!!! Also, thank you so much for all the sweet calls, texts, and comments for McCoy! He loved getting all the sweet birthday wishes!

And surprisingly, I've already taken McCoy to his 2 year appt, thanks to Kirk's reminders, but I'll post that info later, along with some other milestones and things I definitely don't want to forget.
