Adrian is ONE!

On a very hot July 5, Adrian (ME) and my family gathered in my very hot home, to help celebrate this very special date.

One year ago today a large bouncing baby boy came into the world. Today that baby boy is toddling around the house, walking and babbling the whole way.

I have grown so much and learned so much in the past year.

One... fire is something hot... and Mommy won't let me touch hot things... like the stove and candles.

Two...Food is good. It is best eaten with the fingers and stuffed into the mouth in the largest bites possible. It is especially good if it contains chocolate. Mommy has also taught me young how good chocolate is.

Three... The messier the face, the more pictures Mommy and Daddy takes. Pictures mean smiles... and I have already learned how to poise for a picture, and give great big smiles.

Four.... some days are just full of new experiences. Like today, when Mommy and Daddy want me to rip paper. For the past six months, I always get in trouble, but today I am supposed to rip paper, and even find really neat things inside. How did they get there?

Five... I love birthdays! Next year I will have it all down, and know exactly what it is all about!
