Whew...finally!

Here are the long awaited pictures (which we almost didn't get...Stephen biked back to the church because he forgot our laptop at work!)

Titus "helping" us move last week :)

Birthday Cake I decorated...I thought it actually turned out good - especially since I am not artistic AT ALL. My mom actually gave me the idea because I didn't know what to do.

But Titus didn't even want to eat his cake...he was more interested in the balloon. No cake all over the face or in his hair...nothing. Not even a bite! He did just wake up from a nap, though...maybe that was part of the reason.

All these boys are really close in age - L to R: Dennis Egan III (one week older), Titus, Dax Luidhardt (3 weeks older). In the very back of the picture is Josiah Colyer who is 4 weeks older and Michael Kelly who is 6 weeks younger. Lots of boys for Titus to play with!

Stuffed animal that giggles...he loved it :)

Opening presents...

He loved his bike he got from us! It rocks, you can push it, or he can bike alone...we thought it was a great toy that would last him a long time!

Family swim time :)

This one isn't from his birthday, but I had to put it in. Titus got so excited about the dog that he didn't realize he was standing by himself :) Last night Stephen and I were trying to get him to stand by himself more, and he was really getting the hang of it - so, who knows...maybe steps soon?? He is also very close to saying words (well, words that make sense anyway!). I think that maybe 'ball' will be his first word. Although, he does sometimes point at the fan and say 'baf' - we think he is mixing up 'ball' which he really wants to say, and at least gets the first letter of 'fan' at the end :)

That's all for now...hopefully it won't be so long between posting pictures like it was this time!

Titus is SO adorable! I love his little smile. And that cake is incredible. I found a good idea in one of my parenting magazines for David's first birthday- but we'll have to see how that goes; its not easy at all.
You guys look great!

Great pictures. Titus is getting huge, I think I saw him last at camp last year? He was only about a month old I think. Looks like the party was a blast!
