One-Year Nephew Update, Plus Some Other New Pics
Feb 10, 2009
My nephew turned one yesterday, and we celebrated over the weekend with
a party at my sister's house. In his first year of existence, Caedan
has transformed from being similar in size (and activity level) to a
Chipotle burrito--
--to a real, honest-to-gosh human with a personality.
Maybe it's because he is the first human baby that I have been able
to observe closely over an extended period of time, but even after
seeing him every week for the past year I still do not entirely get where
all this little person-ness came from. I am fairly certain there is a
significant amount of magic involved. I mean, there was a time in my
very recent memory when this kid did not even understand what his own
hand was, and had to be protected from his own fingernails--how did
that same kid figure out how to take said hand, pick up a pretend
phone, and say, "Hellllllllloooooo" into it?! If I was still learning
at that speed, I could probably cure cancer on my lunch break tomorrow.
Anyway, I put up some birthday pics of the neph here, including shots of the awesome present I got him. I had Etsy seller CrashCanStudio custom-make him the most awesome stuffed felt electric guitar.
Also up on Flickr: pics from Matt's 26th birthday, and a couple shots of Pancake's dog park outing with his BFF (and obedience classmate) Tucker.
After looking at Crash Can Studio's website, I recognize the fortune cookies(I think I made these as favors at Kelly's baby shower) and the flower in the banner(Christmas Poinsettia napkin ring holders) as stuff I've made before.

These are adorable pictures of your nephew, but I think you should do a post of him like the Grammys one where you make fun of what he's wearing.
