The Smiths: Dominic turns 1!

This may be my favorite post. Ever. My sweet little Dominic turned one on March 1st. I just couldn't believe that the little blob that I brought home on March 3rd, 2011, had become an awesome, beautiful little boy! He can walk like a pro, he still loves cars and balls, he can wave bye-bye, give high fives, do the "Indian call", and climb up the furniture, you name it he can do it! He weighs 19 lbs and 12 oz and is 28 3/4 in. tall. Even though Dominic was really sick for his birthday and birthday party, he was a trooper and made the best of it.

On his actual birthday, Spencer took the day off from work. We opened his presents in the morning and went swimming at the Clearfield Aquatic Center, we went to Arby's for dinner (he only had a couple fries) and he had his first ice cream cone. The aquatic center was freezing! He was a little hesitant at the pool at first, but after a while he started to play and he seemed to enjoy it. He also loved his first ice cream cone (it was actually frozen yogurt).

Here he is opening his first present, it was a lawn mower. He also got a puzzle from mom and dad. Spencer is making Dominic an awesome toy box, he isn't finished yet, but when it is I'll post some pics!

Notice Dominic's blue lips!

The first big bite lol

I started planning Dominic's birthday party pretty much right after he was born. I planned a mustache party for him and the colors were orange and aqua blue. I had a lot of fun planning and getting ready for the party, but it was a lot of work!

Here is the invitation that I made and the cute party hat that I got from Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/shoplissy?page=1).

I made some cute party favors from old baby food jars and filled them with Jelly Bellys, skittles and orange slices.

I bought this cute cake for him.

I also made some fun mustache sticks and put up a framed picture from his 2 week old photo shoot. My dad framed the picture, he is an awesome framer! (his framing site http://pppf.biz/)
