RF woke up all smiles Thursday morning, as usual, and we sang Happy Birthday to him while we all snuggled in bed together.
Why are ya'll singing that silly song to me, mama?
We enjoyed a nice breakfast together at home and played all morning. After RF's nap, we headed out to his birthday lunch --- Chik-Fil-A.
Eating up all four of his chicken nuggets...
Thursday afternoon we headed over to Washington Square for RF to run around outside. He had a blast!
Love this photo...what was he looking at? See a few photos below...
That face...just want to eat it up!
Walkin' around the park...
Had to pick up a few leaves and carry them as we walked around...
This is what RF was looking at. He is drawn to flags. He will point and say something (not sure what, yet) every-time he sees one.
Looking up at the flag...
He will just stand and stare at it...
A cannon, daddy. WOW!
A happy birthday boy in mid-air!
Friday afternoon and evening we spent preparing for our little guy's first birthday party. It was a complete success - a small gathering of family - just perfect.

This morning we packed RF up and headed east to the Naval Air Museum at NAS Pensacola. It was a total boy-fest, but mama had fun snapping photos and wandering around watching my little man (and my husband) all amazed by the airplanes.

Guess what caught RF's eye as soon as we walked in?
The flag...
Sitting in the cockpit of a retired Blue Angel...
I found wheels, mama.
Walking all over pointing, talking and exploring.
Yep, he found another flag...
We are so blessed to have this little guy in our lives and are excited to see him grow and change over the next year.
I hope you had a wonderful first birthday weekend, sweet boy. You are my sunshine. You are my heart. You are my joy and you are oh so loved.
