New Elephant Sweater

The elephant button detailing is too perfect and the hand knitting amazing, though I hope this doesn't set him on the path to being a Republican. Thank you, Nana!

Sugar Plum Buddy

Yesterday we spent a little time outside:




This morning dressed for his one year doctor's visit:

Happy Very First Birthday!! Part One

It was a wonderful day.

We had pancakes for breakfast.

Ole!

When he woke up from his nap, I introduced him to a balloon.

In his new birthday onesie.

His cake.

Happy, Happy, Birthday, Baby! Part Two

Birthday extravaganza!

Birthday boy with balloons. He enjoyed these a great deal - sucking on them, rolling on top of them and bouncing them around the room.

Birthday Prince in his new crown.

Birthday boy with Dad, or the guy who blew up all the balloons.

The paper hats ended up scaring him or angering him, so we all had to take them off. But not before I got this picture.

They Say It's Your Birthday, Part Three

What is this?

I'm not so sure.

Well, if I must.

Don't mind if I do!

Snidley Whiplash. This must be what he'll look like with a moustache and beard.

How Happy Was Your Birthday, Part Four

No holds barred cake action.

Clean!

Speaking with Nana on his state of affairs.

Reading with dad before bed.

Just before his bottle.

What One Year Brings, Part Five

Buddy Study

Yesterday evening. How cuddly is this sweater?

Sleepy Buddy. After this picture he had dinner, then a bath where he caught a second wind...

Jailbreak!

Managing his train this morning. Don't you just want to eat those impossibly smooshy cheeks with a spoon?

This evening. If you looks closely, you'll see him holding the card his great grandma sent him for his first birthday. Note the tooth marks - this means it has his seal of approval and his thanks!
