Dexter is One!!

I can't believe that my baby is one!! This last year has been the best year of our lives. We are so inlove with our little man and he brings so much joy into out lives. He has grown and changed so much I can't believe that he used to be this small.
He is such a happy little boy and is so full of energy. I feel like all I do is pick up after him and my house is still always a disaster. He makes us laugh everyday and it is amazing how quickly he is learning new things. Here are a few of Dexter's favorite things to do around the house.
He likes to climb from the couch into the chair. He does this all day and he is so proud of himself!!

He loves to help me load and unload the dishwasher but he loves it even more when mommy leaves the room because then he can sit on it.

Dexter loves water!! He would stay in the bath all day ang night if we let him!! He is a little fish!!

We can't keep him away from Nick's computer. He is either under the computer playing with the cords or sitting in his daddy's chair typing away on the keyboard.

He also loves to get into the fridge. He can open the door on his own now and so I will find him here all throughout the day!!


And we can't forget the fake cheesy smile he pulls every single time we take a picture of him!! I don't know where he got this one from but this is his favorite pose!!

For Dexter's 1st Birthday this year he got 3 parties!! Yes I know he is a spoiled little stinker!! He got a party with nick's family but unfortunately I don't have pictures yet. His 2nd party was on his actual birthday and he had quite a few visitors. Olivia, Mark, and Cario came over for cupcakes and it was so much fun. Here are some pics of his 1st birthday!!
Dexter got cupcakes for the 1st time and he loved them.

These are the many gifts he got on his birthday!! So spoiled!!

And his 3rd and final party was in Fairmont with my family and it was so much fun!! Here are a few pics from there.

We had a monkey themed party!! One of his nick names is monkey butt!!

This is the cake I attempted to make!! Didn't turn out quite the way I thought it would but atleast it looks like a monkey lol!!

And his gifts from his 2nd party!! Grandma and Grandpa Chipman bought him his 1st bike!! We can't wait for it to warm up so we can give it a try!!

This past year has been amazing and I wouldn't change a thing. I get a little teary eyed thinking about the fact that my baby is growing up but on the other hand I am so excited for the future!! He is learning new things everyday and is now walking and talking a little. I feel so blessed to have such a beautiful family!!
