Unbelievable might be the word!
I don’t know how an entire year passed from the day I gave birth to the cutest baby in the world!
Well, 365 days later, I couldn’t be more pleased on who was sent into our home.
The happiest, nicest, sweetest and cutest baby in all the land.
The morning started off with me hearing some ruckus in the pantry.
Of course it was awesome Scout making breakfast in bed for the birthday boy.
But I had him beat, because Micah and I got donuts for the kids at Universal City Walk the night before.
So Scout and I plated them up with a candle for Dash.
This little boy got serenaded with “Happy Birthday” in English and Mandarin.
He smiled the whole times, and LOVED his donuts.
Then he sported his Happy Birthday headband for a few minutes.
He will usually keep it on to get a round of applause, and then takes it off.
But then puts it back on for more applause.

We had school and errands to do all day, so our real celebration started at dinner when we went to Riptide for Sushi.
Of course Dashy was obsessed with the soybeans.
In fact, look at the shear anger he displayed numerous times when Bella’s hand was in the way of his food.
We were cracking up as he used every muscle in his body to force her arm to move.
After dinner, I attempted to get a picture of the kids.
Thank goodness my one year old was decently cooperative — minus him trying to remove his second birthday headband of the day.
(Just like some people like to have wardrobe changes at their weddings, I like to do headband changes on birthdays.)
He was mesmerized at the flame on his birthday candle when his dessert came.
And in honor of the first birthday tradition of eating cake with your hands, Tristen let him take charge of his ice cream.
At first he was trying to spoon feed himself.
Then he ditched the spoon, and went for the gusto.
And was loving life.
I mean L-O-V-I-N-G life.
Until he got a brain freeze.
So we disrobed him, and sent him with Tristen (the reason for the mess in the first place) to get cleaned up.
Look at those bright red fingers from the cold ice cream.
The poor guy cried the whole way to the bathroom because he wanted the last bites of vanilla that were just sitting on the table.

It was a happy day today — and 365 days ago.
Dash — you are one in a gazillion, and we all absolutely love and adore you.
But who wouldn’t.
I mean you ARE the “cutest baby in the whole world”!
