The year has flown by! I stuck a Christmas cd in last week and started crying because the last time I listened to it I was holding one-month-old Riley and now here I am chasing a one-year-old around the house.
We celebrated his birthday with a family party the night before. The theme was cars and trucks. I made a dump truck cake which he enjoyed imensely and which landed him in the tub.
The only hitch in the evening was that we didn't get around to presents until after 7:00 and if you know Riley, you know that's not good. He thrashed and cried all the way through. So off he went to bed and then Annie and the cousins had a grand ol' time playing with all his fabulous new toys! It really worked out well for all involved. He has since had some time to play with his presents, though not much - Annie isn't too thrilled to have to share them with him. Today she ordered me to "put Riley back in his crib!"
Thankfully, he's pretty good at sharing. He'll hand Annie anything she asks for. And he's a cuddler. And a good sleeper and a cheerful riser. He loves music, and cookies (his first word), and wheels. And me.
Thank you, God, for this amazing little boy!!
He looks so grown up in that first picture! We love him so much!!!
