Dawson's 1st Birthday Party



We had a family birthday party for Dawson.  He got some fun presents from everyone.  I took the kids to the store so they each could pick out a present to Dawson.  Of course he was in the cart with us, but we still wrapped them up and let him open them.  Jaxton found a ball toy that he loves.  He puts the ball in the top and it rolls down and around and around to the bottom.  He got the hang of it real quick!  Cooper found him a couple of big balls and a Thomas train that makes noise and moves forward.  He loves those too, especially chasing the big ball. Kaylee found him a bottle of bubbles.  We also got him a small pillow pet dog to keep in his crib with him and snuggle with, which he does.  :-) He also got a present from Grandma Routsong, and elephant toy that is super cute, and money from Grandma Hutchinson so we can go get him something fun!  He loved opening presents and ripping the paper. 
At cake time, Dawson was very intrigued with his cupcake.  The fire was quite strange to him and he couldn't quite figure it out.  Cooper was so worried that he would touch the fire.  We all sang to him and helped him blow out his one candle.  And then he just wasn't sure exactly what to do.  He touched his cupcake like it was hot coals.  Maybe a little afraid of it.  We helped him to taste the frosting, but that didn't encourage him.  He simple wasn't interested.  He took another little taste with his finger, but that was about it.  Didn't want it!  I couldn't believe it!  His first serving of pure sugar and he rejected it!  Amazing!  What a cutie!  He has so much personality!
