It's my party, and I cried when I wanted to

I am so awful for writing about his party almost a month later. It has been a crazy, busy month.

And it still astounds me that Jackson has changed this much in just 365 short days. 

After much fun planning, we decided on a Dino theme for Jackson's party .

 

The dessert & cake.

 

  

All of the food. 

Unfortunately, Jackson woke up with a terrible cold. He was coughing and had the worst runny nose. I felt so bad for him. He was in such an awful mood all day. He also also been struggling with stranger anxiety, which didn't help much with tons of people around. 

It was so amazing how many people showed up and had a wonderful time. It was so great to catch up with everyone! Jackson slept for half of his party, and he wouldn't touch the cake because he had no appetite, and pretty much cried at anyone who came up to say hi. He was a bit high maintenance when he was awake, so unfortunately I got NO pictures. Uggh. 

 But, it was super memorable day catching up with SO many loved ones who have supported us through Jackson's first year of his sweet life. THANK YOU for all that took the time to come!

Here's Jackson on his real first birthday a week before, eating his donut. He ate the WHOLE THING.
