Helping Dad unpack a box from Georgia

Originally uploaded by Raspberry World.


Our big boy is one year old today! Alex had a good day. He woke up in a great mood and had a good breakfast before daycare. Just before we left the house, he noticed his new barn and seemed very interested in it!

When we got to daycare, he got birthday kisses from his teacher. His class made him a big birthday card with all the babies’ names in it. I think he had a good day, although he only took one very short nap.

Then, this evening, Alex unwrapped his presents from us and all the ones that came in boxes from his grandparents. What a lot of great toys he got! And he has really learned to unwrap a present since Christmas! He’s a regular pro at it now! He loved helping Daddy unpack the boxes and get the toys out of their packages, too.

After that he had some dinner and then a birthday muffin, on a special plate that Nana made him. Of course we sang the birthday song! Then it was upstairs for a bath and bedtime. What a nice day!

On Saturday, we will celebrate with some of our friends. The birthday fun continues!

What a great year it’s been. I am so happy that we get a chance to do this. If you’d like to remember the early days (as I’ve been doing), check out last February’s gallery!
