The boy's first birthday

On February 19, 2008, George turned 1. Crazy! Talk about time flying!! I took the actual day of his birthday off work to spend it with my boy, but spent most of the day curled up in a ball with morningsickness.

We had a party for him that weekend, though, and it was a blast. Uncle Andy, Aunt Julee and the kids came, and all his friends stopped by,

Here he is modeling the awesome bib made for him by Jeannine's mom.
Aunt Gretchen made his birthday cake. She told me she wanted to make him a dragon cake, and I thought that was cool - saved me some time and how special to have his Godmother make his cake for him! I was picturing a regular cake with a frosting or sugar dragon... this is what showed up at our house.

Seriously!! Note the knights and the crumbled castle wall!

George LOVED the cake. I was cleaning it out of his nose and ears for two days.

Happy birthday baby!

We have the answer

to the question "how much worse can I get?" HA!!!
