Troy's First Birthday

My little boy turned one last week - has the time ever gone quickly. He has been such a joy. He amazes me everyday with the things he can do. Today he was putting shapes into the shape sorter that Wendy had given to Ethan for his first birthday!!

To celebrate his birthday, we had a party with my family on the weekend and an informal gathering of a few friends (five families and about 12 kids) at our house on his actual birthday. It was a lot of fun and Troy had a great time!! He has long since mastered walking and is getting pretty fast! He likes to point at everything and say "that". He also likes to say "all done" or "done" a lot of the time, especially when he is finished eating. If you don't catch on and get him out of his chair, he starts throwing the food everywhere! Here he is checking out his 2nd birthday cake!

Waiting for the cake to come...

These pictures are from his family party at my dad's house...

He seemed to like the vanilla cake better than the chocolate...Olivia and Caitlyn....

This is an old picture that I put in by mistake....cute nonetheless..

Here is Troy getting ready to go pick up Ethan at the bus stop.

This is another picture of Ethan's first day of school. He seems to be doing well. The only drama has been who sits with who on the bus. A couple of times he friend Aidan has sat on the bus with another boy (an older boy who didn't want to sit by himself recruited Aidan), Ethan had to sit alone and was very sad. It breaks my heart when it happens because he is so sad!!! Hopefully it is just a phase and things will work themselves out.
