Happy Birthday, Nicholas!
How is he one year old already? Who let this happen? Mandy says she blames me and she might as well should. I keep letting these kids grow older and older. Nicky’s birthday party was last Saturday and a good time was had by the birthday boy. I swear as soon as everyone left, he conked out and fell asleep. The party went well and everyone had a good time although I’m sure not as much as Nicky did. As far as his first bite of cake, he wasn’t too sure what to make of it. Nick kind of just looked at it and tried to fling it off of his fingers. He did like it sans frosting (that’s my boy!) though. I’m also pretty sure that he loved each and every one of his presents. Among them were some cute outfits, an Elmo, a firetruck, a Mickey Mouse, and a walker.
Speaking of walking, he actually took a step! It was an accidental step as he was going for something on the coffee table, but a step nonetheless! I know he can do it if he’d just let go of the furniture. I’m sure it’s just that he knows that I will expect him to walk all of the time if he starts doing it now. Oh well, in due time, I suppose. Lots of pictures of his party in the photo album.
