As of December 4, we have a one-year-old in our house. It's hard to believe Daniel James is now 1. He's grown so fast this year, and he's looking less like a baby, and more like a little boy. Don't grow up too soon, Daniel!
Any celebration for a first birthday is a surprise party. A one-year-old's never had a birthday. He had no idea what to expect. Everything was a surprise for him. Fortunately, they were all delightful surprises.
He gave us a great smile when we sang "Happy "Birthday." He was also pretty impressed with the cake. He had no problem figuring out how to eat it- even tried to eat the plate! The highlight of the evening was definitely the bath that immediately followed. He couldn't stop giggling, "swimming" laps around the tub, and splashing in the water still pouring from the faucet!
