richard's birthday

richard's 1!! i can't believe my baby is a toddler! his birthday was fantastic, of course, and aunt judy was here to join in the fun. the older kids "helped" richard chose his birthday cake, after the chose every other cake for their birthdays:) i bake so often that a homemade cake is nothing special. but a store bought cake- that's wonderful:) enjoy the pics! he's standing up on his own and can take a couple of steps, but no major walking, yet:)

he had no idea what to do with the cake

oh!! those are strawberries!!

i think he stuffed four strawberries in his mouth

strawberries are gone now...what's that white stuff?

he did NOT like the cream:)

cream makes for good finger paint

 fun with cream!

sammy "helped" richard open his presents- a toddler tool set!
