AJ's 1st Birthday


AJ turned 1 in June.  He started walking the week before, and he got his first haircut too.  He looked very handsome.  We thought about not having a party because people are not really AJ's thing, but I was sooo excited about the whole birthday cake eating part, that we had it anyway.  I always think I have everything all figured out, and I'm always wrong.  AJ did really great with the people and the whole cake thing wasn't nearly as exciting as what I built it up to be in my head.  The cake was completely adorable though.  Grandma Susie made a little turtle for him.  Grandpa Beckman got AJ a rocking bull that he got in South Dakota.  He had been working in South Dakota for a while and was really excited when he found it.  He got Brooklynn a rocking horse when she was little that she still plays with almost everyday.  So - I was sure that the rocking bull would be a huge hit.  Once again - totally wrong!  He is terrified of it and cries whenever we try to get him to play with it.  I'm sure he'll grow into it...if Brooklynn doesn't have it worn out by then.
