Dexter is 1 year old!

Happy Birthday to our sweet baby boy, Dexter!  It's hard to believe he is already a year old.  His smile is like sunshine and his giggles like gold.  He makes us all smile. 

He is a busy guy and loves to do his funny crawl with his "dead leg", but he's super fast.  He has learned how to climb the stairs (in similar "dead leg" fashion) and is practicing going down the stairs as well. 

He loves to eat, especially fruit.  So for his birthday I made him his own smash cake with blueberry frosting, blueberries, and Hot Wheels cars.  He didn't exactly smash it, but when I cut him a slice, he ate it :) 

 
 
For his birthday, we went back to MN so we could celebrate with family.  We hosted a pizza party at Gammy & Grandpa's house.  Guests included: G-ma & G-pa, Uncle Mike, Uncle Jesse, Uncle Brad, Aunt Heidi, Meier cousins, Kevin & Jessi Wisdom & family, Kathy & Terry Brueck, Sheila, & Courtney.  It was a beautiful MN summer day and it was so fun to see everyone. 

While back in MN we also enjoyed a day at the Great Minnesota get together - the State Fair!  We ate our way through.  Anora and I rode the giant slide.  Anora and G-pa rode a rollar coaster.  Our favorite food was the Bacon fluffernutter sandwich.  We checked out the animals and watched some newly hatched chicks. 

Back in Seattle, we let Dex open his gift from Anora.  Little People!


Let us not forget it was our dear Papa's 34th birthday as well!  We made sure to celebrate him with a tool belt, Gardhettos, Hydroflask and ice cream cake!
