1st Birthday

Here are a couple of pictures of Gabriel at his birthday party enjoying some cake.

Gabriel just celebrated his 1st Birthday. We had a big party for him which was a blast. There were of course lots of family and friends there. Luckily it turned out to be a pretty nice day, against weather predictions. At one point because there were so many people inside the house, it was actually cooler outside despite the sun.
We celebrated his Birthday the day before his actual birthday. He got his shots on his actual birthday. This was the first time he really screamed at getting his shots. I had to hold him down for the nurse and when he started screaming I almost started crying myself. The good news is that he really didn't have any real fussiness from the shots. His fussiness stemed from him cutting more teeth. The haven't started to show yet but he is drooling up a storm and biting on his hands like crazy.
We are all doing really well, nothing much to report. Life is normal so therefore fairly dull. I am getting excited for the summer and spending time outside with Gabriel and taking him to the pool. We are getting ready for our annual Bumping Lake camping trip in July which should be a real blast. Will try to continue to write.
