Then three days later we were on the road to Tilamook for his actual birthday, where he got his first happy meal. The next day in Tillamook he got to go to the beach for the first time and crawl around in the sand and get a little wet. We also did his one year pictures there. He loved crawling in the sand. We put him down and off he went. Then the next day we had his second birthday party. He got lots of presents and his very own cake to eat, smash, and play with. He also had a blast with that.
This last month he has been doing a lot of new things. He snorts, waves his arms, and bounces when he get excited. He says num when he is eating or when he wants a bite of what you are eating. It is very cute. He is starting to learn the word no. It didn't take too long. I would tell him no and then he would instantly start crying and put his face down on the couch if he was near it. At one year old he is wearing 24 month clothes, which he has mostly been wearing since Christmas. He also got his first haircut, which was a little too short in my opinion. It is growing back much faster than I thought though. All in all he is definitely looks just like a little boy and no longer a baby. Which I guess is appropriate now that his is a toddler and no longer an infant.
