The Big ONE!

Can you believe Reuben is already one year old? 'Cause I can't. It's hard to believe that my baby boy is so big already. I don't know how it's possible, but I swear, time moves faster the more children you have. Before I blink he'll be graduating high school. But that's a problem for future Amanda.

For now, we celebrated the occasion in grand style! His birthday was themed around the book Rainbow Fish, one of his favorites. I had a lot of fun putting everything together for it!

We were so glad to have good friends and family who were able to be there. Even MaMaw and PaPaw were here to celebrate the big day!

Reuben's Rainbow Fish shirt. This is probably the most adorable thing I've ever made!

His undersea party decorations. It was really neat when the air came on and it blew the streamers to make it look like the waves were moving. Completely unintentional and totally cool.

Reuben is 1!

One of Reuben's best reactions was to the book we got for him. He just loves that Elephant, Elmer.

Being pulled around the house in his wagon by PaPaw. He loves sitting in this and S loves pulling him in it, so it's definitely a winner!

Rainbow fish cupcakes!

Handmade cupcakes, handmade cupcake stand and the party theme inspiration!

Getting ready for his first taste of sugar!

He was a bit skeptical at first. "What is this mom?"

But, just like every other baby, he soon discovered the joys of birthday cake! "You guys have been holding out on me!"

The day after, enjoying his work truck. He is so happy to finally have some "boy" toys to play with. No more princess ponies for me Mommy!

Happy Birthday sweet boy!
