April 17, 2007--Mikey's First Birthday!

This was one of Mikey's cakes. He had two. One for us to eat and one for him to eat. No offence to him, but we didn't really want to share with him...you can see why below. I made a baseball because of course it's Mikey's daddy's...uh, I mean Mikey's favorite sport. :)It took Mikey a minute to reallly get into the cake. First he just played with it in his fingers for awhile.
Of course he finally dove in.
The final product.

Of course you have to see this cake eating in action so check out this video.

Cleaning up the final product

Present time!
Luckily he had his second cousins over to help

Easter!

Mikey was so excited for the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. (Okay, well he was excited to be outside in a park with dozens of little kids and the dogs.)

Dad helping Mikey collect a few eggs (which, by the way, are his new favorite toys. I never thought I'd get so much use out of plastic Easter eggs).

Everyone keeps telling us how he suddenly has changed from the "baby" stage to the "little boy" stage.

Mikey was so excited to discover his Easter basket on Easter morning. In addition to plenty of stuffed animals, the Easter Bunny left him some jelly bean filled eggs and mama let him open one. Once he started eating them I just could bring myself to stop him! Soon he had purple drool dripping down his chin. He was so happy!! When else can you eat jelly beans for breakfast if not on Easter morning.
