Fun to be one

Can you believe that Adam is one year old today? Happy, happy birthday, darling boy!
We celebrated with a bike ride and baseball in the morning and a trip to the toy store in the afternoon:
Topped off with some carrot cake, 
I'd say it was a successful commemoration.

Fun facts on Adam:
  • He snuggles up and hears a song to go to sleep. I rock him to sleep with "Nearer, My God, to Thee;" Eric sings jingles from 1980's toy commercials. Adam loves both.
  • In his first year of life, Adam has traveled to twenty-three states!
  • Adam has probably read Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar a few hundred times. He always relaxes on the page about Saturday and then impatiently turns the pages until we get to the butterfly. 
  • He shouts "hi" to strangers and puts his right hand straight up in the air to wave.
  • He lies on the floor with a toy car and runs it back and forth while saying "brrrmm, brrrmm!"
  • A few weeks ago Adam met his great-great-grandpa, Grandpa Roy, who is 102!

How would our family be complete without our little Adam? A friend to everyone, Adam fills our home with joy. Happy birthday, little one.

Amy, I read your post and my first thought was that he couldn't possibly be one already! It seems like he was just born. Time flies too fast once you're a parent. He seems like a very happy baby.
