Albert's Birthday

Here's the rundown of Albert's birthday.  This was during his first birthday song of the day (and his life!).

Breakfast time.

Silly face.

Munch.

Time to get measured. 

Surprisingly enough, he's the tallest of them all at this age.  Who knew?

Lunch time.

Mmmm...pumpkin bread.

After dinner it was time for his birthday cupcake.  "Um, Daddy, what's with the stick of fire?"

"Oooo, I want to touch it."

I love his look of concern here. "Daddy, why are you taking that away?"

Mmmm...frosting.

Munch.

Double apple cupcake with cinnamon buttercream frosting.  

Addilyn diving into her cupcake. (Asher reclining after having devoured his own.)

A very frustrated Daddy sitting with a very sad Elias.  Elias decided not to eat his dinner so he didn't get a cupcake.  Bummer.

Albert and the cupcake carnage.

Time to open presents.  "Um, what do I do with this?"

A happy baby and his Snoopy.

The ball popper!  

"Ooooo."

"Look what this does!"

Bite!
And a good time was had by all.  Even Elias...who eventually ate some of his dinner and got a little bit of a cupcake.
Yesterday we went for Albert's one-year doctor's appointment.  He measured 31 inches and weighed 23 lb, 9 oz.  That puts him in the 90th percentile for height and 50th for weight.  I don't remember his head circumference but I do know that it is off the charts.  I mean WAY off the charts.  The doctor had to come in and remeasure just to make sure that the nurse had got it right the first time.
