One!

Today, Yuri turned One. Yes, we have been parents for a year too. Yikes.

Yuri tried his first cake, and seemed to really enjoy it. Particularly the hole in the middle where the candle had been.




This morning, there were presents, and present opening....



All space bibs need a celebratory banana up the nose!!

His highchairness

People ask me sometimes "What is Yuri's recent big accomplishment?" and I go quiet for a moment (because as any parent knows I'm still dwelling on the awesomeness of what was in his last diaper). I have to say that 3 recent events have happened which compete for WOW for me.
1. He strokes the cat, and the cat doesn't bite him. He has achieved something the grownups can't.
2. He sleeps 6-8 hours *sometimes*.
3. He is really really excited about sitting in his highchair and having mealtime.
