Dan Turns 1

Our little man is the big

1yrs old!!

Daniel has proven to be our most

laid back explorer of all the kids.

He took his time learning just

about everything.

He didn't crawl until 10months,

didn't take a step until 11months

and still isn't walking.

Although who can blame him,

when there are so many

willing hands to carry him around!!

But on this special day,

Dan did take 2 steps to Larry,

just to prove he was capable.

Dan says "da-da", and "ma-ma",

can get up the stairs in 5 seconds flat,

is obsessed with Baby Einstein movies,

loves to splash in the pool and bath,

will eat just about anything,

never had any problems moving

from bottle to sippy cup and 

moving from formula to cow milk.

I told you he was easy going!

On his actually birthday,

the 21st of July

we celebrated with cake and ice cream

as a family!!

I made a layered chocolate chip cake

with m&m's on top.

This will officially be that last time we are

using this candle,

but we've decided to keep it

for when Sydney turns 10

in a few years!

Happy Birthday,

to the 25lb chubby baby!!

Dan tried to use a spoon for the

first couple bites of his dessert,

but it just wasn't moving fast enough for him.

Time to dig in with his hands!

Chocolate Cake & Chocolate Ice Cream

He's just like his daddy!

Seconds?

Time for a bath!

Good until the last drop.

Happy Birthday

Daniel Laker!
