Birthday Boating Fun


Honestly, I don't think Ben looks a year old. He's still chunky and baby-faced with a bit of curly peach fuzz on his sizable noggin. He's getting lots of teeth, he's cruising well, and he says "Mama" often.
For Ben's first birthday, we had a "Boating Party" on Saturday. This involved chucking a bunch of boats in a wading pool in our backyard for the little ones while we adults stood around in the steamy heat drinking beer and grapefruit-ade. I put up lots decorations and made a light lunch and a sailboat cake. Ben didn't care for cake but thought strawberry ice cream was okay. It was pretty fun! Ben enjoyed himself thoroughly and was ready for his afternoon nap long before we adults finished partying. Here are a whole bunch of photos.

That last pic is my FAVE - Ben's happy/messy face made me laugh out loud! Glad to see you had such a great time.
