Ryan is One Year Old!

I can hardly believe that it is already Ryan's 1st birthday! Where did the time go? His first year has been wonderful, and it has flown by. He is such a sweet, adorable little guy and we love him to pieces. His personality has really begun to show, and he is a boy of extremes. Extremely happy and laid back (most of the time), but if he gets upset, boy is he angry. He is incredibly curious and loves being able to crawl around and explore everything in the house. He has a particular propensity toward anything electronic that is not a toy, including remote controls, cell phones, and cameras. He knows the difference between toy ones and the real ones, and he has his mind set on grabbing the real ones.
We had fun celebrating Ryan's birthday with family and a few close friends. Ryan experienced his first taste of frosting and cake, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Here are a few photos of our celebration:

Ryan's cake was chocolate with whipped icing

Our cutie had really rosy (chapped) cheeks and nose on the day of his party.
Happy First Birthday Ryan!
Ethan really dug in at his first birthday party, but Ryan was more laid back and calmly munched on his cake and frosting.
He devoured a decent-sized chunk of his cake.

Ethan is excitedly awaiting his slice of cake

Celebrating completely wore Ryan out

This was maybe the second time ever that he fell asleep in his high chair

Shortly after Ryan tuckered out, Ethan did too

What a wonderful (and apparently tiring ;) day!
