Elliot turned 1 year of age last Wednesday. I still can’t believe it. I remember the week of his birth like it was just a month ago. Now my baby is 1? A toddler? And yes, he is beginning to toddle! We were fortunate to have my parents here to help us celebrate. We started the day with a birthday breakfast…because Elliot can’t yet tell me what he wants to eat I made him something he had only had two other times…pancakes and eggs! It was then present time: Thank you everyone for the sweet cards and gifts! Elliot’s favorite part were the cards (they look like books, a current obsession). With Jared off to work (we were lucky he didn’t have to go in until noon), Elliot, my parents, and I headed to the library were he listened to a book, sang songs, and attempted to see animals. The library had a special guest who brought live animals, but Elliot chose to scream and talk loudly so we left.
party hats found here, banner here, and streamers here. Shirt made by me…”1” stencil and fabric paint.
Quilt made by me with binding help by my mom. pattern found here.
Crocodile chair and clothes from Grandma and Grandpa B.
Polar bear puppet was first played with at the library. I found it on amazon for cheap, so it is the newest member of our family!
Our friends Megan and George sent Elliot an animal sounds puzzle. He loves it!
Watching t.v. and enjoying his chair.
After dinner we had cake! Not sure Elliot heard us singing happy birthday to him because he was fixated on the candle and wanting to touch it. Elliot wasn’t sure about the cake at first. When he doesn’t want something on his plate he takes it and drops it over the side of his high chair. Well, he didn’t seem to want polka dots on his cake because he continuously kept trying to take them off. It took cutting him his own piece before he decided to eat it. Once he started though, he loved it!
Not liking the dots on the cake. Trying to take them off.
He dropped something and is saying “Uh Ooo”. I love this face!
We then went to the Rodeo. It was a small event with a carnival. We didn’t actually pay to go to the Rodeo, but went up there and rode the merry-go-round, and saw the cows.

Super, super cute hats, banner, and streamers. And that quilt? AMAZING. I love it. Thank you for sharing all of the links- maybe one day I'll get it together and follow suit.
I dig the family pic at the top- and the "uh-oh!" face is awesome.
Love to you guys....

Happy Birthday little man Elliot! Can't believe you're growing up so fast! Love love love the quilt you made him and the banner turned out perfect! Way to go Sarah!
Looks like you pulled it off. Everything looks very fun and festive! Glad he had a fun party. We were thinking of him all day and can't believe he is a year old.
So cute! I love the quilt, I love the banner. You did such a good job! And I love the cake too. Wish I was there to see it in real life. Way to go! Elliot is so cute. I can't believe he's already a year old!
You look great by the way.
