Sawyer's 1st Birthday

This was right before he stuck his finger in the flame.
My little boy, Sawyer, turned 1 year old on Sunday!

It does not feel as though a year has passed since I was taking Jackson and Cullen to Touch a Truck and giving birth a few hours later.  And what a year it has been!

Sawyer is growing up so quickly!  He's not walking yet, but I'm sure he'll be walking and running before his little sister arrives.

I baked cupcakes for his birthday.  Sawyer had his first cupcake and candle after dinner.  Andrew was video recording while I was taking pictures.  Sawyer decided to stick his finger in the candle flame while we were singing happy birthday.  He full on stuck his finger in the flame with a look of 'Oooh, that looks cool. I'm going to touch it!' on his face (see above).  Andrew was sitting right next to him and caught his finger right after he stuck it in the candle.  Sawyer never flinched or anything.  He tried to touch it one more time before Andrew just blew the candle out entirely as we were finishing our song.  Of course, Andrew caught all of this on video for nostalgic reasons.  And you can hear both of us in the background laughing after he did it.

Sawyer ate his entire cupcake!  This is a huge deal to Andrew and I because he is the first and only child of ours to eat the cupcake on his first birthday.  Jackson threw his on the ground in 3 seconds, and Cullen just smashed his cupcake.  Sawyer devoured his cupcake.  There was hardly a mess to clean up.  It was awesome!
