Happy Birthcake, Micah.

Sadie always says, "Happy Birthcake!" instead of "Happy Birthday." I think it's really cute.

Anywho, my little Micah turned one last Saturday! I cannot believe it. My baby is now a toddler. Who doesn't quite toddle. But he seems to be transitioning into that toddler mentality. The other day, I was playing with him on the floor, and Sadie came and sat on my lap, and he got jealous. He was trying to claw at her arm to get her to go away. And so it begins. Sigh.

We had a little family par-tay that night. Here are some shots.

Dylan helped Micah to open his presents:

Bows are always more exciting than the gifts when you're a one-year-old:

My mom got Micah the same push-top toy that she got Ivy. Those are crowd-pleasers with the one-year-old set:

Ben got Micah these toy cars called Automoblox. They are a lot of fun:

I was really, really tired. I had spent the day scrubbing my house:

Ivy sat on my dad's lap and kept pulling at his arm hairs. She was fascinated with them:

Ben made Micah's cake. Actually, I should say "cakes," plural. He wanted to make Micah his own little cake to attack:

Plus a big one for the family to eat:

He came up with the powdered sugar thing himself. It turned out so cool. And score that I didn't have to bake.

Here's Micah, in the middle of eating his cake:

He was so funny. He ate it like Dylan ate his first birthday cake. He lowered his head and didn't really involve his hands at first. He just put his head down like a horse to a trough and started sucking on it. My video of it wouldn't upload to here, but I'm considering putting it on YouTube so that I can then embed it to here from there. We'll see what my free time is like this evening.

And a slide show from the evening:
