Rusty Is One!

Oh what a year we have had. I can't believe my baby is One already!! I should be ready to have another one, by the time my baby is one, right?! Well we are not quite ready to have another one anytime soon. Rusty is our challenge child so far. He cries most of the time, and fights eating and sleeping, and most everything else. But he is hilarious and smart when he wants to be, he has the biggest blue eyes, and he has the cutest little voice. He loves to say uh oh, just to hear himself say uh oh. He probably says it a hundred times a day.

A few of Rustin's favorite things:

Out doors- we went on a hike this past week, and for the first time ever (i think) he went hours, I repeat hours, without crying!!! He was soooo happy to be out hiking and having the wide open view of the outdoors.

Being naked- this silly boy does not like clothes on...

Doing anything and everything his brother does.

climbing in the dishwasher

Bath time

stuffed animals- he hugs and kisses them-its so cute!

cars- he makes car sound and drives them back and forth

to be held-constantly :)

Rustin has been so close to walking for so long that I thought for sure he would be walking by his birthday, but it has

n't happened yet, but I expect it to occur soon. He pulls up to everything and will stand on his own for a minute or two has taken a step here or there, but has mastered crawling quickly so for now he prefers that.

WE are having a blast watching this crazy rambunctious boy grow up!! He is so full of energy, he is a bit full of drama, but that just keeps it more interesting for us, right?

For his party we celebrated his "Rookie" year, and incorporated basket ball, soccer, baseball, and football into the celebration.

We had:
football Ice cream- that had caramel filled footballs in it
basketball cupcakes
baseball cupcakes
football cookies-homemade oreos shaped into footballs
carrot&cucumber&dip basketball
Water bottles with sports labels
mini hot dogs
and Rustin got to enjoy a basketball cake- he didn't really enjoy it but it looked cute??!!/awesome!!

enjoy the pictures :)
