For simplicity sake, I kept the decorations minimal but wanted to
make sure everything was colorful. I'm a huge fan of color and I know
Caleb loves everything red AND Elmo. I originally wanted to craft a few
Elmo related items but simply ran out of time.
I'm sure he didn't notice ;)
And clearly, decorating cupcakes is also not one of my fortes ;)
We ended up not even dressing Caleb up for his big day. We knew he'd make a mess anyway so we kept him in his little blue cloth diaper. And then stuck an Elmo birthday sticker on his back.
I know, we're awesome parents.
Want to know a secret? Caleb is actually a little over 32 and a half inches tall but I didn't have enough room on the canvas to include that little tidbit. My baby boy is a monster!
And just a few notes about this video before I save my now one-year-old from destroying my husband's xbox, the comment about him surviving is courtesy of my hilarious friend, Christin. Also, I normally don't sound like a horse, but I was still sick that day. I also planned to say something dirty, but stopped myself when I realized a friend was filming him, haha. One last thing, don't let Caleb's bashfulness fool you. Caleb is actually a big ol' ham.
And yes, I cried like a baby when we sang happy birthday to him. It's been an amazing year, that's for sure.
