Flashback Tuesday, Part I: First Birthday for a Little Big S

And the chocolate just keeps on melting! Photo lifted from Mom.
 Now that we've reached S's 15 month and P's three-year (one month late) checkups, it's time for me to post pics about their birthdays. There's no time like the present, I always say! Or did somebody else say that? :)

Sadly, I don't actually remember much about S's first birthday because I was in the throes of early pregnancy, and, well, there's really not much more I can say. Good thing Mom took copious notes and many great pictures; read her account and peruse her gems here and here.

At any rate, S enjoyed his first birthday--playing with boxes and wrapping paper, eating his cupcake (but only after devouring chocolate-chip cookies--see below), cuddling with loved ones. He's a great one for backing up like a tank into someone's crossed-legs lap. Then he grunts when he sits down. "Ugnh." It's priceless. I still can't believe our "baby" is now walking--practically running, talking--"park" and "dog" are the latest, bringing me books to read to him, and so obviously a toddler now and NOT an infant. But here he is on his first birthday!

Helping Daddy...
All ready to open cards and presents and eat... what is that? And we always look this ready in pictures!





Ooooh. This might not end well...

P "helping" to get gifts for S... guess who was most excited about the presents?!

Weebles!!
Christmas wrapping paper!! My favorite!

P kept us on track when S was happily playing with packaging, or whatever else happened to be on the floor.

It's the Weeble Bus!!





Guess who manned the cameras?



Playing with boxes. The ultimate first birthday experience.

Birthdays are SO fun.

Doesn't seem like three months have gone by since we came up to celebrate Sammy's first birthday!

I LOVE the picture of you and Sam, Em, where Sam is showing you one of his toys and your eyes are the size of silver dollars. So cute!
