Birthday Boy

So on Dec. 29, 2009 Matthew Wayne turned 1 year old. I can not believe that he is already 1 year old. As of Dec. 24th he weighed 18 pounds 8 ounces and was 27 1/2 inches long. Right now he is wanting to eat more and more table food and loves crackers. He has also eaten a few grilled cheese sandwiches when we eat out. Although he is not walking just yet he is showing some very positive signs and loves chasing the cats around the house by crawling after them. When he does start walking I feel very bad for the cats. Maybe Roxie will lose some much needed weight (and mommy too for that matter).

Anyway, his party was Dr. Seuss inspired and based on the book "Happy Birthday To You". Since the book wasn't one of Dr. Seuss's more popular one's it was very difficult to find any kind of decorations so we just made all kinds of posters and had the cake special made for him. The pictures below tell the story.
