Happy 1st Birthday

Baby Al is now 1 year old. Wow that was a quick year. When I was a child years took forever. Why is it they go by so much fast now? We had a pirate themed b-day party for our little one. (Who got his first tooth, finally, a few days before he turned one.)

the pirate theme cake (it was a Monsters vs Aliens cake, but I had them leave the monsters off the cake and I downloaded this pirate from a digital scrapbook site. I downloaded, printed, laminated, and then taped toothpicks to its back and wala. Too cute. 

Baby Al didn't know at first what to do but quickly figured it out.

He ate lots of frosting and was having a hay day.

He was just too cute for words, but there came a time when the cake had to go away.

Which leads us to the next picture, of a baby who just lost his cake and was unhappy to get his face cleaned. My child makes the best unhappy faces. Its hard not to laugh at him.

Al was so cute. Thanks to all who came and all who sent their love. Al had a great birthday.
