Happy Birthday Beau Part II

I sit here on the eve of Beau's first birthday and I'm feeling so sentimental about this past year. I'm relieved to have the newborn and infant months behind us, but I'm not quite ready to let go of the baby I fell in love with the second he was born. I'm clinging desperately to the baby moments-- the gummy smile, the sweet-smelling bald head, the squeals of joy when he sees his sister or his dog, the way he looks in his jammies, how he'll let me kiss him all over a million times without squirming away-- while they last. But I'm also excited to see what his future holds and to get the answers to the big questions: Will his hair be curly or straight? Will he be a jock or a thespian (only kidding Eric!)? In the meantime, here's Beau's life so far in pictures. Happy Birthday Dude-- we're crazy about you!

Happy Birthday Beau!

We celebrated Beau's 1st birthday family-style on Sunday and Beau impressed us all with his cupcake approach. Rather than smashing and playing with it, he picked it up and methodically devoured the whole thing like he eats cupcakes all the time. Good show Beauster and happy birthday to you!

Eric is catching some heat for his Urban Cowboy costume, so here's his inspiration for those of you who haven't seen the movie...
And here's me and Brad reenacting the "You a real cowboy?" scene...good stuff.

Urban Cowboy (Happy 40th to Brad!)
