Adrian's first birthday!

On Jan. 17th, we all celebrated Adrian's first birthday. I smiled at him goofily all day, showering him with kisses, and exaggerated smiles, repeating, "It's your birthday!" Seems as though my smiles were contagious. We had a great day. Grandma came up from DC to celebrate. I continue to be overwhelmed by how fast this year went by.

We had a small celebration on his actual birthday where

Adrian had his first piece of cake...

with SUGAR.

On Saturday, we had a small party with family and friends. Thank you all who could make it. Thank you all who sent your love and affection our way.

Adrian had a blast being the center of attention and opening up his presents.

Alex was a big help handing out presents :-)

I think everyone had fun.

We sure did!

Happy birthday big boy :-)

"I LOVE BROCCOLI!" exclaims Adrian every time he gets it.

He smiles contentedly throughout the whole meal and offers me some every once and a while. I must oblige with a huge smile on my face because, who knows how long this will last?!

But now it's documented. So when he gets a little older and starts to refusing anything green, I can say, "...but you used to LOVE it!" And he can't say otherwise.

Adrian's helping.

I'm cleaning... and I look over and Adrian is "reorganizing" his drawers.

Pulling everything out, and giggling all the while.

After a few minutes of this madness, I look over and see what he was trying to get to.

His ball :-)

Over the holidays, my mom bought Adrian his first pair of shoes. We went to the place she used to buy my baby shoes. It looked the same, and smelled the same, and brought back a ton of memories. That night, Adrian didn't want to take his shoes off.

Now, every time he sees them, he puts them on top of his feet and barks at me to put them on him. They are so flippin cute. Thanks mom!
