The Phillips': Trenton's First Birthday

Saturday was the BIG day! My little fellow turned 1 year old! It was so much fun, we had sweet friends and family come spend a couple of hours with us at our house. We missed those who couldn't make it. Thank the Lord it was a beautiful afternoon so we could sit out on the porch and play in the yard. More on that in a minute.

Ok, if you will indulge me for just a minute while I journey down memory lane over the past year....it really does go fast. So all in all in the last year we have moved 3 times, 2 states, and 3 cities. Craziness. I feel like it was just the other day that I was pregnant and living here in Birmingham while David had already moved to Texas. I was doing nothing but walking and waiting on Trent to get here. Anyway, then moving to Texas when he was 10 days old. Our 6 months there was to say the least interesting. We know that is where God wanted us to be and we were there for a purpose. We met wonderful people and gained more extended family. It was such a growing experience I'm not quit sure how else to describe it. I'm very thankful for those lesson although some were hard. I know that God will use them down the road in someone else's life through us. Then when Trent was 5 1/2 months old, we moved back to Birmingham. Such a relief to be home; to be back in our home church and around family and long-time friends. O man, what a blessing. Since we have been home, Trent has started crawling, then talking, and now walking!! It seems like it is something new everyday. David and I are loving it.

So back to the party..... he was asleep when everone arrive so this is him making his Grand entrance. He stood there for about 5 minutes.

When he warmed up, he was a social butterfly. He went to anyone who had food and sat and ate whatever they would give him. Poor child, his parents won't give him his own food.

Below is his cousin Laura (Meredith's Niece) giving him some of her crackers.
