Cason- One Year Old Party

We celebrated Cason turning ONE YEAR OLD on Saturday, May 19th. It was a pretty busy day because we took family pictures in the morning and then got ready for the party in the afternoon. Cason's party was Sesame Street Babies themed-the same we did for Nolan, but added and changed a few things! Cason had a blast, although he didn't want to eat much of his cake. Here are some pictures from his special day. It is hard to believe he is ONE!

Our baby is officially not a baby anymore-Cason is 1! This moment is so bittersweet-the joy of him growing up and watching him develop into his own little person, but the sadness of his baby stage going away. He is a such a happy baby and we love watching him learn and grow!
