Happy One

Today the smallest McCoy boy turned 1!


Birthday waffles for the birthday boy.

Here are some pictures from Michael's birthday dinner and cake.

Mickey Mouse ears are great party hats!

Big boy cup for the big boy.

Pretty close...He seems to like this hand gesture.

Yummmmm....cheese pizza! Not bad for a first timer!

Brother with some cheese of his own.

Yay...birthday cake!

Gabriel was waiting all day for this.

Birthday present from Mommy and Daddy.

Mommy put this together in about 5 minutes...sadly, Michael's legs aren't long enough yet :-(



I have been thinking all day today about how quickly this last year has gone. One year ago, I had just had a c-section and was lying in the hospital bed with a sleeping Michael on my chest...that was the only thing he wanted to do that night...no eating...just sleeping on mommy. One year ago, Daddy had been gone for less than two months...now it has been almost 14 months...wow...where has the time gone?! So much has happened in the past 12 months, and I can't believe how fast our little baby has grown. Michael is a sweet, loving, and funny little guy. I cannot wait for this next 4 weeks to zoom by as quickly as the past year has, so that Daddy can come home and finally get to know his littlest boy.
