Birthday Baby

Andrew celebrated his first birthday on May 2. Unfortunately for him, he napped very poorly that day and was in no mood for the festivities (read: cake) I feel like we need to give him a mulligan.

He did warm up after a few bites of the yummy cake. He looked like he was growing a goatee.

After that enormous mess, we opted to open presents in his skivvies. Clearly, he didn't mind

Luke couldn't help himself.

Finally, another big milestone for the one-year-old: The turning of the carseat! Now I can see four smiling faces in the rear-view mirror. Precious!

An aside note: At Andrew's one year doctor's appointment, we were surprised to learn that he had gone from the 95th percentile through his first six months to down to the 15th percentile now. Yes, the doctor is concerned about him weighing TOO LITTLE! Really, it's the big head that fools you. I think it was caused by his being sick SO many times this winter. Since the visit, we've been putting real butter on everything he eats - scrambled eggs, oatmeal, veggies, you name it. He's gained about 2 lbs already. Five more to go!
