One Year Old.

Hello again, we are so excited about our boys first birthday that we can hardly contain ourselves. It is amazing how quickly the time goes by and how he changes day to day. Sometimes he even amazes himself. As you can see getting him to sit still for a photo has become a bit of a challenge but we enjoyed it all the same.
We had his birthday party on Saturday. He was not so sure about the whole opening process but liked the end products as you can see.
Silly mom thinks she is going to get me to look at the card and help unwrap these things. Why do that when I can play with the camera and aunt Cece while mom does all the work.
The cake was hilarious, most of it was simply squished and admired for it's painting abilities until he decided that it was not such a pleasant sensation to be so darn sticky...
So we unstuck the boy and everyone said their good byes to the birthday boy as he soaked in a warm tub. All in all Joey had a great time. He was thrilled to have so many folks admiring him. Despite skipping his afternoon nap he kept a very chipper mood right until the end when he decided it was time to be cranky simply because he was so over stimulated. But this did not last for long, a bottle and some mommy cuddle time and he was out like a light. Of course it was only five o'clock so mom had a long night when he woke up completely refreshed and ready for action at nine. No worries, a birthday only comes once a year so we stayed up and played and watched Christmas cartoons. OK I watched the Christmas cartoons. Joe played with his new toys.

Love you all Nikki
