Happy 1st Birthday Austin!!!

I can't believe it has been one year...

The presents...

The cake...

Austin didn't want anything to do with his cake (a giant cupcake!).  He was pretty mesmerized by the candle, though.  I tried to feed him a bite and Andrew tried to feed him a bite, but Austin was much more into feeding his cake to Andrew (which Andrew loved).  Oh, well.  I guess it's a good thing he isn't addicted to sugar, right?

Austin is one special little dude.  He is cool and calm and easy going, he makes us laugh, he scoots more than he crawls, he bangs his head against the back of the highchair when he wants out, he loves playing in the pantry and we never know what we will find in Daddy's Coke Zero box, he loves crawling stairs, he grabs any toy that Andrew is playing with, he stands in the bathtub, he loves being outside, he (very recently) started sleeping in until after 7:00, he lays his head down on the floor (or anything nearby) when he is tired, he hates wearing hats, he is obsessed with the dishwasher and will come scooting when he hears it open, he loves to swing, he loves chewing on my hoodie strings, he is curious, he is strong, he is active, he is loving, he is Austin... and he is so much more than these words can describe!

Happy 1st Birthday!  We love you!
