McKay's First Birthday!

McKay's first birthday wasn't just a celebration for him, but a celebration for the whole family on a whole year having this baby that we all ADORE.  We woke up and Josh had decorated like he always does (I forgot to get pictures), but Josh had to get to work early so we didn't get to do the morning stuff that we usually do.  So for McKay's special breakfast we had Cream of Wheat.  Let's be honest, there isn't a whole lot the kid can eat, so we went with that.  He had his first bottle of cow's milk and definitely did not like it.  Since then he has become a milk fan. 

The boys had school off, so we decided to meet Josh for lunch by his work and celebrate there. We brought McKay's presents, bought happy meals, and we were in business.  The boys had a great time playing, and McKay had a great time watching.

McKay loved his first French fry experience.

The toy in the happy meal was a Shrek watch and they have been LOVED to death.

Chicken nuggets are the only meat that Lincoln will eat, so I guess I should be thankful for them.

McKay also tried ice cream for the first time. Loved it.

Then it was time for presents.  The boys were only too happy to help him unwrap them.

I don't think Hunter has quite gotten the concept of the ice cream going IN your mouth. 

He liked his presents.

I love how babies have to touch everything with their pointer fingers.  McKay does this all of the time and it is so cute.

Later that night we invited the family over for dinner and cake and ice cream to celebrate McKay and Hunter's birthdays.  Hunter picked hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner.  I made McKay a little cake for him to eat all himself.  Hunter's cake is in the next post.

Figuring out this milk stuff.

He was so excited with his very own cake.  Hunter helped him blow out the candles.

And he began to eat.

Finally he just stuck his whole face in it.

I think he liked it.

He completely demolished the cake.  As a birthday boy should.

And on to the presents. 

McKay loved all of the light up wonderful toys that everyone gave him.

I think he enjoyed his first experience with his birthday.
