Shamrockin it up for Jaxon's 1st Birthday Party

We held Jaxon's 1st birthday party last Saturday at Grandpa and Bebe Samford's house. We had a great time and Jaxon loved it! Before the party, Jaxon was getting a little anxious for visitors....

However, he ended up taking a nap and sleeping through the arrivals. Once woken up to join the party, Jaxon was a bit cranky. Ok...that is an understatement...he was very cranky! He would cry if someone just looked at him. Once he had his dinner, he perked up and eventually made his rounds to everyone at the party!

Now, let's get to the good stuff! Jaxon helping open his first gift

A Little People boat! Given Jaxon's love for baths, he was instantly drawn to this toy

On to the next...

A toolbox! Not sure my son can be trusted with a hammer, even if it is a toy, but he loves it!

Ava and Reese were kind enough to help Jaxon open the rest of the gifts. I love that Jaxon is playing, Reese is writing about something and Ava is taking charge with gifts!

On to the cake....wearing his beautiful birthday hat designed by Aunt Jessica and oh yes...waiting for cake!

We were off to a nice clean start. He instantly loved the icing, but was taking his time. Mommy was very proud of her sweet baby.

Jaxi sure fooled me! He quickly started eating cake by the handful. What a mess, but what a cutie! Don't worry...a bath followed by Grandma Davis. It was a rough bath though, he cried all the way through it. I think it was taking him away from the cake that made him mad...it was so delicious!

It was a great party and Jaxon had a blast. Thank you to all that shamrocked it out with us, Jaxi appreciated it!
