Seamus likes birthdays

He plans to keep having them. He loved the balloons, being the center of attention, the singing of Happy Birthday ... and, especially, the birthday cupcake:






Many thanks to Nanabanana for hosting, and to Auntie Carol for the awesome decorations. Many pictures of said decorations to come, as well as pictures of Seamus enjoying his presents.

Thanks, too, to everyone who attended. It was a great party! Lots of sugar-addled children running around laughing ... Seamus had a blast, and so did we.

On Seamus' first birthday ...

... he ate a chocolate eclair ...



... opened a package from the dunns ...



... and found a cool shirt and an even cooler toy!



the shirt has little scooters on it ... very funny, guys.



big party at nanabanana's place coming up tomorrow afternoon!

Seamus is a Year Old!!!

Full-time elf

He doesn't quit being an elf when the Christmas season is over!

Milestones

I don't have documentation of any of these things yet, but just to keep you all updated ... Seamus is now:

- walking (he's been doing that for over a month now!)
- putting rings onto one of those toy spindle things (he just figured this out yesterday)
- picking his nose (sniff ... I am so proud!)

That little frontal lobe is crackling with activity!

Bathtime with the XMas Duckie

... thanks Auntie Trees!







There's nothing nicer than a clean Schmoo!

Two special birthdays coming up!

My two favorite people have big birthdays coming up in a few days: Greta's Big 4-0 on Monday (MLK Day!) and Seamus's 1st on Friday ... I am very lucky!
