Today was Alex’s first birthday and we spent it doing all the things he likes best. He had pancakes for breakfast and then went to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens to play in the fountains. After a nap and lunch we went to the bounce house. Then after nap and a dinner of his favorite foods he opened all his presents. Not to bad for only a year old!

Laura’s friend Vicki from Stroller Strides invited Alex to be part of her smash cake celebration for CJ (her son). Their birthdays are two days apart so she invited us to do a joint party. Vicki brought all the decorations and Laura made the cakes for the boys and the cupcakes for all the kids. Here are the fun pictures and video from this morning, and both boys first experience with cake.

Alex has been crawling for a while now and getting into all sorts of things (i.e. trouble). He goes up and down on Brooke’s bed, the guest bed in the playroom and furniture walks everywhere. Just recently he has learned to sit in Brooke’s chairs, making for a very cute photo opportunity. And yes, he did this all by himself.
