Happy Birthday Eric

Today we celebrated Eric's first birthday. We had a great time. I made an Elmo cake and Eric had so much fun digging into that. (What was I thinking--red frosting!!!!) At first he only poked at the frosting but quickly figured it out. There were about 30 friends and family to celebrate. Amazingly Eric loved his balloons. We thought he would be scared since he ran away from the Valentines balloons. Daddy and I got Eric a little chair for his birthday. Now that he is mobile, though, he doesn't want much to do with a chair. The living room is covered with birthday loot. Papa noticed Eric's third tooth poking through today. That must be why there is drool everywhere. Eric was so tired after the long party. In other news-- Eric's sibling decided to cross it's legs during the ultrasound and make us wait to find out!

Side to Side Dancing

So hard to believe that Eric will be 1 in two weeks. He is doing so much now, walking, climbing stairs, dancing. What an active baby! Eric loves everyone and everything and always has a big smile. We went to story hour today at the library. Eric loved it- especially the music and dancing- I love his 'side to side' move. Our new baby is coming in July. We will find out the sex next month. I am thinking it is another boy but who knows. Time to throw in some laundry while Eric is peaceful in his crib.
