Our group of six grandparents, two great grandparents, one aunt, two uncles, two baby cousins, a great aunt and uncle and cousin removed or seconded (I should know this) gathered to party hearty!
Of course this was the star of the day. (And if you don't like cute baby pictures, sorry -- but I'm shameless!)
Of course we all had loads of family pictures taken...
...and Grandpa play...
... snacks...
....and cake. A cake bigger than the birthday boy!
And the toes did get a bit of frosting on them but no one minded.
It was finger-lickin' good.
Really good.
So good, in fact, that it required a very big swig of milk!
The hit gift of the day? A plastic slide. Highly recommended for a good time.
It's hard to believe that a year ago he looked like this.
And now, I'm not sure he's a Baby Grand -- he's a Grand Little Boy!
The fun has only just begun.
Woo hoo!
Keep climbing, Little Guy -- you'll have mountains to climb someday. May as well start climbing up the slide!

Isn't he just gorgeous! What a lovely way to celebrate your 1st Birthday, the cake looked delish too.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh, I am not suppose to be but am seething with jealously. He’s gorgeous and everyone looks so happy. Glad you got to enjoy the day♥️
ReplyDeleteTime has flown by, and he has turned into such a cute and happy little boy, you must be so proud of him! It looks like everyone had a great time at the party. Happy birthday from me, too! Hugs, Valerie

Soooo cute. It is a lovely age and they look enthusiasticly on the world.
ReplyDeleteOne already??!! How did that happen so fast?! Goodness how big Baby Grand is...and how utterly adorable!!! What a beautiful little boy. The cake time was precious! It wouldn't, or couldn't, be a first birthday without frost-covered toes and all else! Love seeing all the photos and happy smiles!! BLESSINGS & LOVE to you all!! :)))
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your gorgeous grandson Jeanie.
ReplyDeleteMine just turned 16 months, they grow so fast.
I can remember like yesterday when my own grandchildren looked like that. Now two of the four are shaving!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little boy! And so alive. Thanks for sharing your festive celebration!
ReplyDeleteA year old already? That's nearly unbelievable. I look at that pic of Rick holding him, and swear that was taken only a month ago. It clearly was a wonderful celebration -- and I love your painting!
ReplyDeleteAww Jeannie, Your grandson is adorable. Nothing like that first birthday and first party. I remember ours. First taste of sugar, wow I'll never forget those eyes! LOL, brings back sweet memories. Your little guy is precious. Enjoy these days, you turn around and they are nine and think how fast they grow.........Sweeeet post and I love baby snaps :)
ReplyDeleteOh isn't he precious?! So many shamelessly great pictures haha! Love that his favorite gift was the slide -- good old-fashioned fun.

ReplyDeletehe is just getting cuter and cuter and I love the portraits:)
And feet..are any feet cuter? Nope.
Happy Birthday to your first on his first~
Jeanie, I could hug on that sweet baby for a long time. I love babies. He is adorable and so happy. My great granddaughter just turned 3 and she is something too. Looks like granddad was enjoying your boy. Glad you got lots of pictures. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteOMG! He's a year old already? How did that happen?
ReplyDeleteSeems like he had a grand first birthday!
He is just an adorable little boy. I really love the little renderings of him that you did from birth to now. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteHang on- those birthdays just fly past and pretty soon he will be trailing your every step and begging for cookies.
Have a wonderful Tuesday! xo Diana
Loved this . . .
ReplyDeleteOh my . . . the watercolor!
Enjoy these days . . . they fly by really fast!
Oh so perfect at that age.

ReplyDeleteHold him tight and give lots of hugs, tomorrow he'll be asking to borrow the car keys!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful occasion. He's a sweetie. Jeanie, that painting is simply perfect. Is it going to be a gift to the parents?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Happy Birthday to that beautiful Grandson of yours, Jeanie. These are wonderful and treasured pictures. My favorite was the frosting on the toes. How exciting for him to get a red slide on his special day.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Goodness gracious, I remember when he was born....wasn't it just YESTERDAY??!! LOL He is growing so fast and yes, he is so adorable. What a cute boy and I love his bright and festive birthday cake--looks like he did too! So glad you shared these fun family pictures with us. Any signs of spring there yet?
ReplyDeleteThat time passed so quickly. He has grown into such a cute little guy! Happy Birthday to him. I see he's enveloped in love.
ReplyDeleteWow. I know that the change in that first year is amazing, but seeing the little newborn photo next to Mr. Grand Little Boy is amazing. I'm glad we'll get to see the changes this next year brings. Hugs-erika
ReplyDeleteJeanie, your grandson is adorable! I love his big blue eyes! He's so, so cute in his little jeans, t-shirt, and flannel shirt. Great photos of y'all! :D
ReplyDeleteJoyful time for the family, love all the happy photos
ReplyDeleteCould he be any more precious! I think not! What a beautiful Birthday boy! Beautiful happy photos,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it was a year ago that he was born. MY how time fly's when your having fun.
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute and what a great personality. I know he is a joy to you and Rick.

Mary
What a darling little boy. Beautiful photos capturing precious moments.
ReplyDeleteJeanie, I cannot believe one year has passed! He is so handsome and as a grandmother, I loved every picture! He looks so cute in his flannel shirt and jeans with those blue eyes! The toes picture is adorable. He looks like he had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI think the birthday boy looks like Rick. What do you think, Jeanie?
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful celebration, Jeanie. He's absolutely adorable, and looks just like his daddy in that picture where daddy's behind him, on the floor. :)
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful child he is! Oh my goodness, you must certainly be over the moon in love with this precious angel! I can tell a good time was had by all and the Birthday boy most certainly enjoyed HIS special day!
Great photos!
Jemma
Happy first birthday to you adorable grandson! I have two grandboys and two grandgirls and each one brings me so much joy, so gush on as I love seeing grandmother joy, Jeanie!
ReplyDeleteHe is a sweet one for sure. Oh, look at those baby blues! Happy birthday to your little guy. They do love the slides and climbing and sometimes it is better to close our eyes at the stunts to pull climbing.
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable, Jeanie! They grow up so fast. Our youngest grandson will be 7 in two weeks; and our granddaughter, who was born in Japan, will be 15 this summer! I remember getting off the plane and seeing our son holding her; and now she'll be driving in a little over a year.
ReplyDeleteWhat happy times...for everyone! Those little ones bring so much joy and grow up so fast. I'm happy you...getting all those snuggles! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - such a precious little guy! Look at those amazing blue eyes! They grow so fast......wonderful to have so many loving arms to celebrate a first birthday. xx Karen
ReplyDeleteI am back from Missouri, where I spent two very sleepless days and nights. After returning, I crashed. Finally awake and ready to visit. Your baby grand has really aged, hasn't he? He is such a cutie and I know we will see many more years of him as he grows and matures. Glad to read he enjoyed his birthday gifts and loved how you ended the post with mountains to climb.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to little Grand! He's such a cutie and you two look like very proud grandparents, Jeanie.

Jeanie, somehow I missed this post. What a beautiful boy. Grands are so much fun but they grow up so fast. It seems just like yesterday that our Jake was there. Now he is almost 23 and in June will graduate from Santa Clara University with his masters degree. Enjoy the years to come..Judy
ReplyDeletelook at that beautiful boy.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of his feet.
Has it been a year? Wow, time passes quickly. I remember when he was born! He is adorable. Happy Happy Birthday sweet boy!
ReplyDeleteExciting time!
oh what a beautiful boy:)
ReplyDeletequiet the stunner!
enjoy those precious moments:)
-Jennifer
Oh my goodness, he is beautiful!! Those blue eyes! I see Rick in him! But I also see Mollie (sp?), too. He's at such a fun age. I love all the stages but I really love it when you can interact with them and their personalities start to shine through. I love the invitations you made (I assume the first pic is a party invite!). You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteHe is absolutely adorable! It looks like you had a very nice party. He has the same number of grandparents and great grandparents that I started off with He's a lucky little boy! :-)
