Happy First Birthday Quad!

This past year has gone by so quickly and my precious, tiny baby bear has grown so much. Every day that I have with him is filled with joy and I am still amazed at his ability to achieve so much in such a short time. My baby boy was born April 21, 2011 now he is a one year old tod. Here is how his first birthday went with plenty of pictures to tell the story.

Good Morning Pooh Bear! It's your day!

We had such a fantastic time celebrating Quad's 1st birthday! He loved every minute of it. We are so much thankful for a new great year for our Pooh Bear. He continues to spread joy with his sweet spirit and fun loving personality.  We feel so blessed and proud to have him!

Our Pooh Bear Just turned 1. 

Just don't mind the background folks! (lol)

Quad's Officially A Tod!!!

April 21, 2012 ,Saturday: 

He's now beginning to understand and take in the things that are going on around him.

 I wonder how this day would turn out?

It was just a simple family bonding we had but the 

simplicity of Quad's celebration made him enjoyed it more. 

We decided to do a lunchtime birthday party at home since Oscar will be arriving by noon time from an out of town work, so we spent the day before to prepare for the party (even though I know he will not remember it).

Ora can't wait to dig in! We were preparing 

Quad's candle and here she is doing her own thing.

I know it is cliche, but I really cannot understand where this year went.  It seems like yesterday he was making his early entrance and instantly our lives changed forever.  It has been such a roller-coaster-ride, but despite the difficulties and the sleep deprivation, this has been the fullest, most joyous year of my life.  I admit though I am so conflicted as he reaches each milestone.  

But then again, I’m thrilled and it is so fun to watch.  But on the other hand, he is becoming less of a baby every day and it feels as if a door is closing forever.  I guess this is what parenthood is all about.

After stuffing ourselves on cake, we went 

at the village's church for a candle lighting with Ora. 

Where is she anyway? Oh here! 

It is your 1st birthday, Quad, One candle on your cake! Proud parents stare in wonder at each new move u make. We join in celebration, as this special date arrives, for our  baby bear has brought pleasure into all our lives. We look forward now to seeing how you progress and grow, from the cute and tiny infant you were one year ago. 

Thank you Papa for making it before the day ends! 

We know how busy you are :)

So dig into your icing! 

The reason for this day is a special person.

A  piece of  Quad's birthday cake for the first time :) 

Happy 1st Birthday Quad!
