Oh Deere, Foster is One

Forgive me for taking so long to post, but we have had a lot going on.
Foster Kade had his first birthday and I can hardly believe it has been a year since this sweet little boy arrived...where has the time gone (REALLY). People say that the first year goes fast but I didn't understand that until now. This last year has been such a joy and tremendous blessing.
Because Foster has such a love of anything big and motorized, we celebrated with a John Deere birthday party including all the trimmings. Foster had a John Deere shirt, cake, cupcakes, decorations and party favors! We got to enjoy his birthday with family and friends at our house; It was so much fun.
The pictures below are of Foster eating his cake and then getting hosed off, and opening his gifts.






A side note:
Foster is very, very close to walking on his own and is saying all kinds of words:
Deer (because we have a stuffed one hanging on our wall)
Duck (because it is on our wall too... does that sound redneck or what?)
Bird (again, on our wall)
Mama (unfortunately not his first word)
Dada
Ball
Cooper (the dog)
Tractor ( loves motors... such a boy)
more (he wants more of everything)
Quack Quack
up (so I will pick him up and take him where he wants to go...I know, I 'm a sucker)
please
thank you
and many more. He also got his two front teeth in this week. (YEAH!!) now maybe we can go back to sleeping :)
