We decided to throw a party for the Big #1. It was quite an adventue, but
Poor little guy, got sick about an hour before the party and threw up. I thought he just gagged on his milk, but I didn't think he was actually sick. Well, guests arrived and Owen threw up all over the entry. What a welcome gift to our family who made the trip. We did the pizza thing, the present thing (Owen was not lacking for any presents) and the 1st bday cake thing. The cake thing didn't quite go as expected. I think Owen was a little overwhelmed with attention and not feeling good didn't help. He didn't dig in like I had hoped, instead he cried because we were making him. He got a little frosting on his hands and didn't want anything to do with it after that. After we gave up and cleaned him up, that's when he decided to shove his foot into the cake, atta boy. The celebration was great, and we were so grateful to our family to coming and being a part of his special day.
The sick thing, turned out to be real. The next day, his actual birthday, was a doozy. Between all the throwing up and fevers, it turned out to be not that fun of a day (well actually, not that fun of the next week and a half.) I had no idea a flu could last that long...

I love the baseball cake. Looks like a fun party even if Owen didn't fully enjoy himself. I think the whole celebration is really for mom anyways. It's a big deal to make it through the first year and you deserve a party.
