Our little sunshine baby turned one today. I'm not sure how it happened, since for the past two months or so I've been telling him to stop growing and to stay a baby forever. He is so young to be so disobedient.
Despite the fact that I can't seem to freeze time, we had a fun day with Jonner. He didn't seem phased by the fanfare in his honor, although he certainly enjoyed playing with the balloons with Clara.
Clara, for her part, was super pumped about Jonathan's birthday. Her favorite thing, I think, she summed up as follows: "When I went into my room for my rest, there was no party. Then after my rest, I came to the door, opened it, and there was a paaaarty!!" She is thrilled with all of Jonathan's new toys and wasted no time in taking his new boat for a spin in the tub tonight. Jonathan, luckily, is very magnanimous and didn't even seem to notice.
And let's be honest: what's a birthday without a few adorable misadventures? I made a caramel apple upside down cake, which was definitely not the most child-friendly of cakes (plus, I forgot to have him blow out his candles until after I'd cut and served half of it). It was this cake, and its evidently bad karma, that contributed most of the misadventures (and laughs).
Oh, Jonathan! What would we do without you? Happy Birthday, Bug!

What mishaps? It looks like he had the perfect day (well, maybe the torturous ice cream was an exception). Here's what I can't believe--he really does look older. But what are you going to do? He's cute and has the best belly laugh and he adores his big sister, mom and dad. Really, what more could you ask for? HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN!
Oh good ol' Jonner! Hearing a great baby laugh was just the manna I needed this morning. Also, is Clara saying "careful?" Perhaps repeating some order or another given her by her parents?
Anyway, thanks for the recap. In times like these, it was really just like being there to share in the festivities.
Love ya, Bug!
Happy birthday Jonathan! And forget karma, that cake looks delicious.
Performance Review:
Jonathon has had an outstanding first year. Another year like the last one and you'll be in line for a significant salary increase and a promotion. Work on your communications skills (learning a few words would be very helpful) to go with your winning personality and learn how to walk and you will go far in the coming year.
Happy Birthday.
Excellent party! and extra points for punctuality!
Oh he is such a cute 1 year old! I LOVE the laugh! Charlie does that same growly belly laugh and I think it is the cutest sound ever. What a sweet boy you have! Happy birthday Jonathan!
Oh my goodness, that video of him and Clara with the balloons made my day! He has, without a doubt, one of the happiest laughs I have EVER heard. Oh, man, you've just got to love those moments when your kids are having so much fun together and making each other laugh so hard. And I love the one of him with the ice cream, too. I have to say, that is the first time I have seen ice cream make someone cry! :)
I love it! He is so adorable and so big. I love the one with the candles, he didn't quite seem to like the smoke! The first birthday is always the best! Clara is so big I just can't believe it! My kids loved watching Clara make Jonathan laugh! Those moments are always so precious!!
Happy belated b'day Jonathan!!! He is so cute, and his laugh is adorable!!! Clara is getting so big! I miss you guys!
That made my day. I loved hearing the sweet laugh. He is such a sweet boy. Happy Birthday Jonathan!
Just looking at some blogs now that I'm enjoying internet at the parents' for the weekend. Anyway, how much of a geek does it make me that I noticed the P&P soundtrack going on in the background? Excellent complement to the birthday celebrations.
He laughs just like that red headed baby on YouTube. I feel a multi-million hit video coming on.
