Our little boy turned one today! We had the customary 1st birthday party attended by family and a handful of ‘friends with kids’. The party was slightly chaotic with kids running/crawling in all directions, while parents and family snacked on hors d’oeuvres. I think everyone had a great time.
Lindsey and I are both amazed at how quickly this first year has gone by. He was just a little baby so very recently, and now he’s starting to look and act like a little boy.
Mommy picked up balloons in the morning.

Yummy cupcakes.

Jono’s noodles.

Not a cupcake fan.


Done with this.

A few pictures of our little leprechaun….

This weekend Lindsey and I left Avery with my parents and had a night out together. It was great. We haven’t ever been more than a few miles away from Avery, and going to Seattle by ourselves was liberating. After dinnenr & beer at the Pyramid Ale House, we went to the Matchbox Twenty and Alanis Morissette concert at the Key Arena.

I like this shirt Lindsey chose for Avery. He’s not really mischievous (yet), but it’s still pretty cute.
Between crawling and walking behind his push cart Avery gets around pretty well. We’re going to put the push cart away for a couple days and see if he can take some steps without it.
