it’s been so fun being able to capture baby damien grow the last 6 months, and he finally turned 1 a few weeks ago! to celebrate, there an afternoon in the park for a gathering with close family and friends, lots of yummy food, playground fun, and plenty of cupcakes – which ended up turning into an accidental cake smash 
it was a great day for a party – perfect weather, and lots of fun was had! and as always, damien is ADORABLE.
some highlights…
a new toy…that was a birthday present
out to the playground…
he especially loved the swings
this photo just screams “childhood joy” to me…
he was fascinated by sand…
and loved crawling in it…actually, he’s just loving to crawl everywhere!
i call this the “he’s up to something” face. it’s becoming very common
he can almost stand, but isn’t quite there yet…
playing pee-a-boo!
almost walking too, but not quite yet…
umm…i don’t think you’re supposed to be doing that. but this photo cracks me up, LOL.
the boy loves food. he especially enjoyed the lumpia that great-grandma brought
cake time….
i think THIS was his favorite part of the day!!
heeee!!
happy birthday, damien! it’s been so fun to watch you grow!
