Celebrating One at Build-a-Bear

Happy Birthday to my Andrew! He turned one today!
To celebrate we took at trip to Build-a-Bear and made a cow.
Picking out his cow.
Waiting his turn to stuff him.
Pushing the pedal to add the stuffing.
Not quite sure what was going on.
Kissing his heart.
Putting his heart in the cow.
It was super busy tonight with a group of Girl Scouts all stuffing their animals.
Andrew was just taking it all in.
"Now what Mommy?"
Time to give the cow a bath. The air scared him a bit.
Who is that cute baby in the mirror?
Picking out clothes and dressing his cow . . . overalls & a hat.
Registering & naming his cow at the computer . . .
we picked "Moo Cow".
Mommy, Andrew & Moo Cow posing for a picture.
Giggling when Moo Cow would tickle him & give him hugs! 
We love you, Andrew! Happy Birthday!
