And today Wyatt's 1!!!!!

Today is Wyatt's 1st Birthday! It is hard to believe what was happening last year today. I also set my cell phone alarm to go off at 7:53 pm tonight (the time Wyatt was born) so Bert and I could sing Happy Birthday to him at that time. So much has happened in such a short amount of time.

This will actually be a 2-part post. The second part will come tomorrow after my family and friends get together to celebrate Wyatt's birthday but today's post is of the birthday celebration at Bert's mom's house. We had quite a bit of fun with most of the family there. Wyatt got his first stab at a frosted cupcake. He totally didn't know what to do with it. The first thing he did was turn it upside down and got the frosting all over the tray. Then, once he had the fun-to-play-with stuff off, the cupcake got dropped on the floor. He proceeded to play with the frosting for a little bit but he didn't get all that messy. Then it was on to opening his presents. He got some of his favorite things: toys with wheels. He got a larger Tonka Truck (he has a few smaller ones), a pull-along phone which he started ringing right away. And then he got a 4-key piano which he LOVES to pound on.

After we got home Bert and I gave him the present from us: a shopping cart he can stand up behind and push around to learn to walk. He had quite a bit of fun with it. Here are a few pictures from today's events. And stay tuned in in the near future to see how tomorrow's celebration goes!

What am I supposed to do with this?

Tip it over?

or Drop it on the floor and play with this white stuff?

Look at my new truck and piano!

Sweet! I get to rip more paper!

Hurry up dad or I'll play with it in the box.

This walking thing makes me very happy!!
