Well folks we've made it to Todd's first birthday! I think if your child is still alive at one year with no brain damage then you're probably doing something right. We had a great day on his birthday with the family. Todd woke up in a chipper mood and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to him in bed. Then we went over to Wayne and Pam's to go out to lunch, open gifts and eat some destroyed cake!
Todd got a basketball hoop from his Nana and Pop pop and he got some clothes from grandma and grandpa. He wore an adorable little suit (his first one!) since he was going to have his picture taken. Most of the people at the restaurant where we had lunch we going nuts...can you blame them?
Im sure that Todd's favorite part of the day was when he got to destroy his first birthday cake (a tradition that we thankfully don't carry on in consecutive years). He picked the roses off the top and was sucking on those like a pacifier until the frosting came off, then he figured out he could dip the flowers back into the cake to get MORE frosting...you can see from the pictures that he thought he was something special to get to do that. The day ended with us teaching Todd how to make baskets with his new hoop so that in another 20 years or so we can watch him play on TV! hahaha.
We are so glad to be celebrating his 1 year birthday. Of course it came too fast and I can hardly believe all of the stuff that's happened over the last year! But one thing I'm glad about is that I am not pregnant THIS march! Love to you all, Erika
