Big Mac

Mac turned 1!!!!  It is so hard to believe that McAlister is already one year old.  Man, time flies.  We had a small family birthday celebration for Mac and invited a few friends.  Mac received several packages in the mail from grandparents and aunts so that was fun!  Thanks to a sweet girl at church who gave me an allergy-free icing mix, Mac even had a first birthday cake! (gluten, milk, and soy free!)  Well, my official toddler is growing fast and keeping us busy.  He is walking well now and his vocabulary is expanding.  His most common words are:
Papa
Mum-mum
May-mame (Mason)
Bubba (Bradey)
Baw (ball)
Bir (bird)
All (I'm all done)
Up
I dee ( I did it)
Mell-mo (please)  hmmmm...not sure either...but this is what he consistently uses for please. :0)

Here are some pics from his first birthday!
