Happy birthday Will!

Will turned one year old last Thursday. I missed out on most of the fun because I was away at a conference until late that evening. Still got my birthday kiss in though. Fortunately Grandma Brenda was here to help mom & Will celebrate. Then the three of us had a make-up birthday celebration on Saturday.

Here Will's playing with the sweet present Aunt Sara and Uncle Jeff got him. It's a zoo fun land that's a big hit. There's an animal figure for every letter of the alphabet, and a creepy zookeeper guy who has a car that Will really likes. Also, the pad thing that Will's sitting on here says letters and animal noises when you put pressure on the certain pictures. Mostly what happens is Will is sitting on it, so we hear "U is for Urial" or other letters/animals over and over. PS a urial is a mountain goat.

Will was equally interested in the box that his zoo came in. I wonder why...?

Oh, that's why!

It wouldn't be a birthday party without birthday cake. Erin made a fun train cake with the mold she got for Christmas from my parents. Will was very excited, as you can see, and made the appropriate amount of mess as he ate it/rubbed it on his face and in his hair.

Thanks for all the gifts, calls, and birthday wishes everyone!
