My monkey is ONE!

I can't believe it has been a year since my sister was driving me to the hospital. Don Williams was blaring in the background as she sped up hoping that the cop near by would pull us over and give us an escort to the hospital. No such luck. But I got there just in time. Good thing my hubby worked around the corner from the hospital :) He is such a sweet sweet little guy. He is the happiest baby I have ever met.

His birthday was yesterday.
I wanted his cake to look like the monkey I painted on his wall.

I think it is a pretty good match. I have a tutorial on how I made it on my other blog The Birthday Blog.

He was very serious as he ate. Never cracked a smile. He didn't even really make a mess. He just ate one little bite at a time.

Happy birthday monkey!!!

    So sweet! How funny that he didn't make a mess! I have pictures of cake and frosting covering my oldest at his first birthday. The younger one was a little neater. That cake is adorable. Thanks for sharing.
