Ziah's First Birthday!

On October 12, Ziah had his first birthday!  Unfortunately we were in Utah attending a BYU game, so we waited until the 14th to celebrate it.  That afternoon, during Ziah's nap I worked on his cake.  I found this really cute idea on Pinterest, so I copied it a bit and improvised on some of the stuff.
 I thought that it turned out really cute.
 We invited all of Jake's family that was in town over for dinner and cake and ice cream.  It was also Jake's sister's little girl's birthday the day before, so we celebrated her birthday as well.
 Ziah was very interested in the candle and wanted to touch it.
 He wouldn't blow on the candle, so with a little help from daddy, he got the candle blown out.
 At first he was a little hesitant about eating the cupcake.
 Soon he hugged it to his body so no one would take it.
 He loved the frosting on the cake.
 That was about all he ate, but he loved it!

 After cake and ice cream, we opened presents.
 After realizing what he was supposed to do, he did a great job opening the presents.
 He loved all the attention that he was getting.
I am so thankful for Ziah and that he came to our family.  We waited a long time for him, and we love having his happy smiling face around.  He is a really happy baby.  He scoots on his bum a lot, and the last month or two has started to crawl normal as well.  He loves to cruise around on furniture, but hasn't gotten adventurous to try to walk.  We are so happy to have Ziah as part of our family.  Happy Birthday, Ziah!!
