18-8-2009 - First Birthday

My mood while writing this blog: i\'m good

So Chathum had his first birthday and it was good fun! We haven't had his 'official' party yet, just his little party at home. Me, daddy and the grandparents. I made him a small little Cookie Monster cake for just him, and I was really pleased with it - that is until Chat broke the icing bag and plopped a huge black spot right on top of the cake. So I had to cover it up with blue and the icing was definitely not even any more, but all that mattered was that Chathum recognized that the cake was indeed Cookie Monster! When he saw his little cake he said "cook cook" and cried when I wouldn't give it to him right away, LOL. So, we had a taco buffet and cake for the adults too. Everyone ate, we gave Chathum his cake and it was too cute. First things first he stuck his finger right in the Cookie Monster's eye and proceeded to dig up both eyes and eat them. Then he pretty much just scraped icing off the cake and ate that - no cake, LOL. He was pretty tired and cranky, and attempted to pick the entire cake up as if he was contemplating shoving it in his face...then decided that he would put it down and try to shove his face in it...then decided to do neither. Close call, LOL. Afterwards he opened his presents and played for a bit and was really thrilled with everything he got. We got him two outfits, a giant dinosaur he can sit on, a magnadoodle drawing thing, a Leapfrog toy for playing with at the refrigerator, and a Spiderman chair to sit in. Mamaw and Pa got him a basketball goal. Maw got him a radio with baby Cookie and baby Elmo on the front. Papa got him a tamborine and a balloon. All and all it was a good time. The next day Chat's sister brought him a present that was a Fireman Elmo holding a dog that plays music when you push the button. Then on the 16th my sister gave him an Elmo DVD. Yea Chathum's birthday!!
