George's First Birthday

On George's actual birthday Alan went in to work a little late so we could all come in and sing "Happy Birthday" to George. George wasn't sure what all of the commotion was about and he wasn't too happy. He just wanted his bottle in peace. The rest of the day went smoother. Caroline had the treat of being taken to school by Daddy. George and I hung out for the morning and later that evening we made George's favorite meal: Roast beef, mashed potatoes and peas! George and Caroline enjoyed birthday cupcakes and he got the final "Happy Birthday" of his first birthday sung to him. It's official, our little guy is one and headed into the toddler years. He's been gearing up for this and seems happier being able to get around and explore. He was never one for the cuddly newborn phase, but now that he is able to move and be where he wants, he does come back for cuddles. It's on his terms now :) George is a happy, silly little boy who loves to eat if he feeds himself, loves to laugh, is very ticklish, loves all soft things: IE blankets, teddy bears, loveys, etc. He loves to be by his sister and always wants to see what's going on. He's definitely a fun addition to our family and we can't see how he grows into his personality.

Happy Birthday George, we love you so much!

 After his first nap, 

in a little better of a mood! 

 This time he was feeling a lot better 

and was more interested in the cupcake!
