Carter's First Birthday

My baby is 1!! It just doesn't seem possible. We had a great time with family and friends Saturday. Carter thoroughly enjoyed himself. Aside from the brief encounter with ants and stripping his clothes off in the middle of the party, discovering he had been bitten multiple times, and evacuating all the children from the yard, it was a perfect day. Don't worry, Cory and the gasoline resumed play in the yard! He had so much fun running around with all the kids. But most of all, he loved his cupcake. Some of you know we are going through some trouble with allergies, and until we know what's causing it, he can't have several food items, including eggs and milk (which happen to be a vital part of birthday cake). But I was determined he would have one to eat. I found a place where you can order nut,egg, and milk free bakery goods.(She was on Martha Stuart). http://www.divvies.com/ . Not bad for what they are. He obviously didn't know the difference because he DEVOURED the whole thing. It was so cute. He asked if we could become full time vegans, but mamma's not giving up those leather pumps for anyone!

Thanks to all those that made it the best 1st birthday for our little man!

Looks like the party was a huge success. Hopefully, Carter will get the greenlight to indulge in dairy soon! I love the last two pictures! The kids look so happy to be in the group shot :)
