Happy Birthday Joshua!!



Well, we can hardly believe our little guy turned one-year-old on Friday! It seems so long ago since we were in the NICU with him for 15 days, but on the other hand, it seems unbelievable that he's been with us for a whole year already! He enjoyed cake at Bennigan's on his birthday as you can see here...he's very tactile and loved the feeling of the frosting in his fingers. We were surprised by how relatively clean he was!






We came home from dinner to open presents from Mommy, Daddy and relatives who had mailed gifts. Autumn was, of course, excited to show Joshua how to rip the paper. He was such a trooper!





We celebrated even more with party with family and friends on Saturday. Here he sits on MomMom's lap very excited to see what was in his gift bag.



He enjoyed his very own cake at his party and ended up with quite the sugar high! He didn't even think about going to sleep until well past 9pm, when he normally is out for the night at 7pm!

Our sweet baby boy. He'll always be my baby. :-)

Oh Laurie, he's just too cute! I'm so glad that he had a good 1st b-day... we were thinking about you guys all weekend!

Lauren,

Joshua is so full of joy! What a delight to see these photos!

Yes, little boys will usually be very, very tactile.

I teared up when I read your final comment about Joshua always being your baby! As the mom of my own "little baby boy," Doug, who is almost all grown up now, I know in my heart that he will always be my baby, too.

Love you all, Aunt Barb
