Our baby boy is 1 today!

Our sweet Josiah turns ONE today...actually tonight at 11:30pm! One year ago today...at this time of 7:23 am we were on our way to the hospital so excited our sweet boy was about to be in our arms. And after 14 hrs of labor...he was! We were immediately in love with the most perfect little angel we'd ever laid eyes on and today I can say assuredly that our overwhelming love for him one yr ago today has only multiplied by thousands each day since! We thank and praise you God for the precious gift of Josiah! This morning I made him a special birthday breakfast...his first french toast and I even put a little powdered sugar on it...his first small taste of sugar. I was sure he was going to devour it!
Instead he looked at it strangely...I broke it into bite size pieces and coaxed him to take a bite...he spit it out and looked at it...put it back in his mouth and ate maybe one or two more bites and decided it was not what he wanted! I even tried putting a little syrup on it...still a no go. It was some GOOD french toast too...Jay and I ate it up! We then tried oatmeal...nope! So cheerios it was...and our boy was happy. Seriously what can cheerios not fix for this boy?! Lately it is so hard to get him to eat anything besides cheerios at breakfast...I think he has learned that if he will hold out and boycott the other food offered first (even when he normally likes that food)...cheerios will come!

Oh...did I mention that Josiah was so excited about his birthday that he decided to start celebrating it about 2 hrs early this morning?! =)
Can't wait till his 1st bday party tomorrow...pics to come!
Happy 1st Birthday Josiah!
Mommy and Daddy love you SO much!
