You're One, Lil Joe!

Happy Birthday to our Little Joe! Can you believe it's been a year? And he's getting so big. He's actually walking now and chasing his siblings...when they're not around, he's chasing the cat. Still just as happy as could be.

So, five children later, and we still haven't had one who wants to make a huge mess out of their first cake. Joe had to encouraged to poke the frosting. But still, he didn't know what to make of the big, colorful cake in front of him. Nor did he know what to do with the candle. Someone else blew that out for him. Ah well. They all learn by their second what to do with cake and ice cream!

Thanks to everyone for a great birthday! He got some wonderful clothes...which he desperately needed. It would seem that his older siblings have worn out all the "hand-me-downs." Ah well. He'll never really have to complain about never getting new stuff.

Joe didn't know what to do with this ball. It had squishy little spikes coming out from it and the soft plastic texture was not one he even wanted to touch. John, on the other hand, loved playing with it. I guess birthdays can be fun for everyone! Thanks for the happy day.

Here's to loads more birthdays, Joe Joe!
