Welcome to the Buckley Family: Happy 1st Birthday Tyler!

I cannot believe a year has gone by...So much has happened in one year alone. It has been amazing to see all that Tyler has accomplished so far. What a blessing! Steve and I have enjoyed every single moment. I think the most wonderful thing about having Tyler is being able to experience a love like no other. Just the thought of Tyler puts a smile on my face and when I am at work or somewhere else, I can't wait until I see him.

We celebrated Tyler's birthday with family and close friends. We decided we could do a party wth his friends once he is older and can interact a little more with them. He had a couple of friends there, but for the most part it was an adult party. We had some food, we talked, we opened presents, and we had cake and ice cream. We allowed Tyler to have his own cake which Steve made. Steve was actually very excited about making Tyler's cake and even homemade the icing. It was pretty good!

When opening the presents, Tyler was not very interested at first (I think because he had his bottle) and then as more were opened, he got into it. He also had some helpers who enjoy opening presents a little more than he does right now. It was very sweet and I am sure Tyler appreciated it.

After opening the presents, Tyler got to eat his cake. We took his outfit off so it would not get messy, put him in his high chair, gave him his cake, and let him go at it. It was pretty funny and we probably let him have too much, but at least he enjoyed it.

We are very thankful for all the friends and family we have who are so supportive, caring, and always there for us. We are so blessed to have such love in our lives and we thank God everyday for it.

It was a great birthday and a great year...
