Happy 1st Birthday Thomas!!!

It is amazing how fast one year can fly by.

He went from this scrumptious 9 pounds newby...

 To "Mr. Smiles"

 To crawling...

and now walking...



When he is tired, he either asks to go to bed or just lays down...



He does this super cute thing with his hands curling and waving them alternatively...



He claps and says mama and dada...




He loves his stuffed tiger, adores his sisters and is always ready to play...



He has had not one but two haircuts:

And he is learning the many advantages of being the baby, like finding his big sister's apple

On Wednesday, the day after his actual birthday, we took a trip to the zoo so he could see a real tiger.

 He was mesmerized by them. Who could blame him though?

After the zoo we had lunch at Red Robin where he could enjoy all those yummy favorites: mozzarella sticks and macaroni and cheese and french fries and orange slices. Then we went home to sing Happy Birthday and celebrate with cake, after a nap of course. :)

He is quiet, easy-going, so so sweet, all smiles, cuddle as can be

 and a most precious gift.

And he is one year old. May God bless my baby boy on his birthday and all through the year.
