Finn turned one on Sunday! What a big year. He is such a sweet, smiley baby, and we are so thankful to have him. He eats like a bottomless pit and has turned into a pretty good sleeper now, hooray! He is still doing his one-arm, one-toe variation of the army crawl, but he is a fast little booger.
He has started pulling up and cruising now, so he is into everything. He is so tall! It took him a while to practice and get strong enough to pull all that weight up - and it was a big surprise when he finally did it! I was in the kitchen when I heard Elijah yelling frantically, "Mom! Mom, come quick! We've got a real problem here!" I raced into the powder room to find Finn standing up, chewing on the toilet seat and grinning at me! Elijah was horrified. I was horrified, and laughing at the same time. Nothing is safe now!

| Too much fun to be still! |
Today we had a birthday party at Patrick's parents' house for Finn and Aunt Lorrie and Uncle Bill. It was a fun day, and extra fun that Nana got to be there, too! We chose
Goodnight Moon as the theme for Finn's cake and decorations. Yesterday, Maiah came and spent the whole afternoon helping me make and decorate the cake. She was such a big help!

| Surprised, and hoping to grab the candle. |
