Connor's First Birthday!

Hip Hip Hooray! Connor is now one year old and Eric and I have survived our first year as parents. Connor is absolutely adorable, but he has been such a handful for us! I am really trying to enjoy each stage in his development, and I think this toddler stage is so much fun. He is walking all over the place, which means he gets into even more trouble by getting into more mischief and crashing into lots of walls. He learns more and more each day and it's so fun to watch him grow up. To celebrate his first birthday, we decided to throw him a little party. His little friends from our ward came over for pizza and cake. We gave Connor his own little cake to play in and eat, but he wanted nothing to do with it. Eric finally put his hands into the cake, and then Connor started to cry! He kept saying "mess, mess!" and was not happy until we wiped his hands off. He then opened up his presents (which cheered him up right away) and played with them and his friends.
