Billy's First Birthday!!




The big day is approaching when Billy will officially be ONE! We had a great celebration last Saturday, (which gave us the week to come to the realization that Billy will really be one year old! What a year it's been... and we're so happy to have him in our lives!) As you can see, Billy thoroughly enjoyed his new toys and his birthday cupcake. He also had a great time talking and laughing with the relatives that joined in the celebration.

Sunday we enjoyed our first Easter with Billy, at Grandma Janis' house. Billy was an excellent Easter egg hunter, very capable of picking up eggs and placing them in his basket; Stu and I were so proud! It was such fun, and Billy even shared his candy with us... the money, he saved.

Billy and I are taking a swim class at the YMCA, which is fun for us both. He likes the water; doesn't mind it splashing or dripping on him, but I haven't yet tried dunking him. I'm working up to it! Another thing I'm working on with Billy is weaning. It's so nice to be able to pour him a glass of milk and just hand it over to him! We're both ready for the transition, but we're doing it gradually for my sake.

And he's getting closer and closer to walking! We are keeping busy down here, and things are definately happenning. Here's to another great year for our fabulous Billy. We love you!!
