"You sure grew out of your baby ways, Happy Birthday to you!"

We had an exciting weekend, celebrating Joshua's first birthday with family and friends. Among the guests were: Tyler and Isaac Pruitt, Dani Smith, Lydia Welch and Taki Townsend. We let all the little ones swim, have sweets and cupcakes and then play with all the amazing presents. Some of the best gifts included bath toys, books, and stackable and nesting toys, and a first toothbrush.

All day, Joshua carried his plastic spoon, and kept his grip tight on it. He enjoyed crumbling his cupcake, but didn't care for the taste much. But he was willing to go for an Oreo cookie. So despite it being overcast and threatening rain, and preventing the host and at least 3 guests from napping, it was a fabulous party.

We can't believe Joshua has already been a member of our family for a whole year. Time has flown. And we're having more fun with this little personality every day.
