Every first birthday deserves a first birthday party. Nico's first birthday party was a blast! Lots of family and friends came into town in order to celebrate this huge milestone with our precious birthday boy at his jungle themed party. There was lots of good food to eat, babies to watch playing, and wrapping paper flying through the air. Nico, with a little help, had a good time opening his presents, and already has a few favorities. Of course, he had to fight off the swarms of other babies from the new toys so he could play with them! And then there was cake time... Since Nico had already gained some experience in this, he knew to dig right in. It wasn't long until he was convered in green icing, and then it was straight to the bathtub for this birthday boy. To top things off, Daddy entertained the guests with a video filled with pictures of Nico's first year of life, Needless to say, there were plenty of tears from Mommy and a couple of the grandparents (I wont't mention any names...you know who you are) as we watched Baby Nico turn into Nico the little boy!
Overall, the day was absolutely wonderful! I appreciate everyone who helped me make it the day it was and who went out of their way to come share this experience with us; especially Pops who was able to leave our 94 year old Ninny in order to fly in and out the same day. Nico will never have a first birthday again, and I am so happy he will be able to look back at these pictures and the many, many more I took to see what a great time we had celebrating his miraculous life.
In addition, to Gigi staying for a whole week, Aunt Shae and Nanny stayed a couple of extra days to visi. This way Nico and Mason were able to spend some time testing out all the new toys together, especially the new red wagon.
