As Time Goes By...A Post About My Baby Turning One

Watson Archer Semon is one.
Don't ask me what happened because it snuck up so fast that I barely had time to plan. My baby's birthday hit me over the head and pushed my heart down the stairs.

We celebrated in the usual Semon style. There was lunch at the Texas Roadhouse Grill and cake with presents at Grandma's house. Here are a few pictures of the event. (My husband is going to kill me for posting all of these and not taking the time to correct all the red eye...but I'm ok with that.)

Big Birthday Boy:
Opening Presents:


Playing with the newly acquired awesome ball popper:


The Cake:

Singing (always Murdock's favorite part-we sang this about six times):


The Eating of the Cake:




Oh my precious baby man!
How you have blessed our lives!
You know what you want. You are ALWAYS starving. You think your brother hung the moon (even when he is trying to murder you). You wait for Daddy to come home and you can't wait for him to pick you up. You scream like a banshee. You HATE your car seat. You do back flips off of our laps. You give big kisses and shrug your tiny shoulders. You wave backward which just adds to your charm.
You have brought laughter and happy tears.
We adore you.
Happy Birthday my darling one!
I am tickled pink to be your mommy.

Watson is adorable... if we lived closer he and Spencer could be buddies. Alas we don't, but I truly enjoy reading about and seeing your life in photos. Happy Birthday to your cutie-pa-tootie!
