6 little ones (Kaiser, Jack and Nathan couldn't make it) all within 6 months of each other! It was too cute. Andrew had a great birthday party. He continues to need to learn how to share...but hey, he is only one. If Connor was in the car, then he wanted to be in the car, for example. But then they figured it out that Andrew could push him. Andrew likes to poke at the little ones eyes and to give kisses(open mouth!), but now that some of his friends are walking too it is more like chase. There is a joy as a parent to watch your baby boy play with other kids and see them problem solve (as much as a one year old does). By the end of the party he was running up to the adults and hugging them (back and forth like he does with mom and dad). The party was a lot of hard work considering Andrew likes to be at my feet constantly or helping, but evertything was finished and we had a lot of fun. Anything for a baby boy!
The kids enjoyed the toys outside and then we ate outside along with all of the flies. Andrew was a little more interested in the gifts than last party...at least he sat in your special chair for some time. Again, he played with the cake more than he ate it. (Last cake was chocolate, this was banana which didn't help). But this time he even shared it with me.
August 12th was his baptismal birthday. We celebrated by going out for dinner, saying a special prayer/blessing and lighting his candle. We praise God for this year of life!
