We held a small birthday party last weekend - some photos below. Boyd did really well - smiled like a champ for the camera, took a short nap halfway through the festivities and got up for more partying, and was pretty well behaved.
Updates:
- Boyd has his 1-year appointment on Monday, February 25th. Can't wait to see his stats! He'll also have to get quite a few vaccinations - poor baby.
- We saw him clapping his hands together for the first time this week.
- He still smiles after sneezing- happy kid!
- It's marginally better during diaper changing time, but he would still rather squirm around and be upright.
- Mealtimes are hit or miss around here. Sometimes he'll eat the pureed foods, no problem - and other times they'll end up all over his bib and clothing after he has spit them out. I suspect he prefers finger foods now. Which is fine because we try to feed him whatever we're eating for most meals, minus anything really salty or sugary.
- I shouldn't be surprised by the fact that his first molars are coming in already. He has been way ahead of the curve with all of his teeth, e.g. 8 teeth by 9 months.
Here are a few of my iPhone photos from his Saturday birthday party. Risha and Gabe have quite a few more on their fancy Canon, so I'll post those at a later date...

| Yeah, CAKE! He didn't tear into it like I thought he would. Mostly it was dainty little bites and he just picked at the cake | . |
