birthday party fun!

Hello to all! So today is the official big day but Saturday was just an absolute blast! Today Chip is officially a whole year old! Saturday, we found ourselves surrounded by friends and family with lots of laughter and a great meal! Chip really was into his cake and thought that it was just yummy! He feasted and became covered with it and then we realized he was itching all over due to it! We took him out of his high chair and went straight to the tub with him and bathed him off. He did, in fact, have hives and was broken out because of it but we quickly gave him some benadryl and put his cream/lotion on him and by Sunday morning, it was practically gone. It is amazing at how fast his skin revolted against it! For sure we won't be giving him cake or cookies anytime soon! Tony and I gave him a swing and a baby pool for his birthday which he thoroughly enjoys! He got some other great things including lots of noise making toys (THANKS HOWARD AND GAGA!!!). We are trying to recover today and the next few days we will get some pics up showing all the fun. Hope all is well and thanks to those who came and made his day even more special.
