So ... he liked the cake.



We let him grab at the entire cake for a while ... but then I gave him his own slice.



After a while, he wasn't thrilled with the cake goo everywhere. Unfortunately, frosting sticks. And it's messy.



We quickly realized only a bath would work.
Then he felt better -- more like himself.

Happy birthday, Brennan. You're a really amazing baby.

Year 1 check-up stats:
25.02 lbs. weight 80 percent
2 foot 8.5 height off the charts
48 1/4 head circumference 94 percent

The doctor's report, "He looks terrific!"

He's exceeded all milestones for his age: fine and gross motor skills and verbal. And he's been walking for more than two months.

We're so excited. We are so blessed.
