Today is Riley's first birthday.

What a difference a year makes. This time last year he was a tiny, just born baby. We spent the day and the night cuddling and nursing. Actually, we still spend the bulk of our days like that, but he is much bigger, and has teeth.

He had a lovely day and enjoyed his presents (a boat bath toy from Megan and a bag full of balls from his parents.) He loved his birthdat dinner - steak, peas, and mac & cheese. It was shocking how much he ate!

And his birthday cake was a hit. But the candle was another story. It was Riley's first up close encounter with fire, and he did what any boy would do - he tried to grab it. Thankfully cake is a great healer.
