The Wynne family has a tradition, going back to when their children were little, of adding on a verse to the end of the "Happy Birthday" song. It goes like this: "We're so glad God made you. We're so glad God made you. We're so glad God made yoooouuuuuuu. We're so glad God made you!" I just love it and it has quite possibly never meant more to me than it did this year when we got to sing it to Robert for the very first time. Our little man turned 1 last week and while I admittedly had a hard time getting used to the fact that my son is no longer a baby, I've since embraced toddlerhood and all of the preciousness that comes with it!
Here's a picture of the DELICIOUS cake that Cita got for him.
And here's the aftermath...His tummy wasn't feeling so great after partaking in the Thanksgiving meal followed by the rich chocolate cake, but I think he'd agree with the rest of us that it was all well worth it!
He had no idea why we were singing to him all day, but he didn't mind the extra attention one bit!
We had two birthday celebrations, one with each of our families. Here he is about to devour the strawberry shortcake that Leeley made for him in Atlanta. He also had his first taste of ice cream (Mommy was a little reluctant to share, but I caved in because of the special occasion:))!
This tiny shot (thanks, Snapfish!) was taken by my mom at the Georgia Aquarium. My parents (with some help from Robert's uncles, aunt and cousin Jack) took care of him while Carlton and I enjoyed a weekend getaway. He had so much fun that I'm convinced he had no clue we were gone until we returned! Thanks so much for loving on our little guy while we were away!

Happy belated birthday Robert(and mommy!). I am so glad that I finally got to meet the little guy last month. I must admit I got a little teary eyed looking at your pictures...it is so true that little ones grow so fast! And I have decided that birthdays are more a day for parents to think back and remember when their baby was born, and to celebrate the wonderful gift that the Lord has given them! Anyway, hope yall had a great day. Love and miss yall!
Happy Birthday precious Robert!! You are beyond cute...
Happy Birthday Robert!!!! We love you and we're so glad God made you!!!!
I can't believe Robert is already a year old! My time goes by fast. Happy belated birthday!
