Birthday Boy

Harlow's Big Day - Our Valentines Baby
 Happy 1st Birthday Harlow!!!

















A big Thank You to everyone that was able to come, even with it being Valentine's Day and all!

Grandma Larsen for the awesome counting book
Jeralyn for his favorite gift - the shinny, helium balloon
Laing's for the puzzle
Arnetts for the Lobster, shrimp party that night
Ashton Girls for the trail mix
Leo (& Jen) for being such great friends

Our little guy has turned 1! We can't even imagine life without him!  He brings us more joy than we ever thought possible and unites our little family. Family's are truly eternal.  You can just tell that Families are the way to go, it's Heavenly Father's purpose - just feeling this love is a testimony of that!

Harlow is crawling faster every day and walks along the walls, couches, chairs....he is quick and mobile.  He has loved chasing the blue birthday balloons all around the house.  He is a good-natured little boy and has only thrown a fit maybe three times, twice of those three times were when I took our electric tooth brushes away from him - oh my goodness!  He eats so good and I just sit and giggle to myself when he feeds himself cause he's so cute!  I just want to soak up all those little moments and remember them forever!  I love being his Mommy!  He is playing with us.  He loves to be tickled and chased.  He waves to everyone at the store and by the time we leave we are friends with everyone.  They even call "bye Harlow" as we're leaving :)  Daddy taught Harlow to give kisses. His method:  ask for a kiss, when he gives Daddy a kiss reward him with ice cream, repeat until Harlow has idea firmly planted that 'I get what I want when I give kisses'.  I've noticed him point to things and if I don't respond he leans over, gives me a kiss, and the points again as if saying "I gave you a kiss, now take me over to the balloon"  haha

I hope we can always make his birthday's special and that he can feel our love!
