On Saturday, May 19th, we went to the Benningfield's house to help them (and several other people) celebrate Charlie's first birthday. It was a beautiful day with a bright sunny sky, so it was perfect for the pool party that was planned. Their backyard was transformed into a baby waterpark. There was a blow up pool, a water activity table and a beach ball sprinkler. I let you walk around for a little while to aquaint yourself with the surroundings, and then it was time to get on your swim clothes and sunscreen.
You were very hesitant about the pool. Each time I tried to put you in, you cringed, pulled up your feet and started to pout. You were content to walk around in the grass, play with the water table and investigate the new terrain. Finally, after seeing all the other kids playing in the pool, it was time to give you another try. This time it was a success! You really enjoyed playing in the pool with all the other kids!

After playing in the pool it was time to watch Charlie eat his cake. He dove right in without hesitating and soon became covered in the yellow icing. Yummy! After cake, Charlie opened all his presents. We got him a little monkey spinning toy and I think he liked it best :)

We had a great time at Charlie's birthday party, and you were a really good boy.
I love you,
Mommy
