Samuel's 1st birthday

Samuel turned 1 yesterday!  We had a small celebration with Stuart the night before (he's on a pretty busy rotation, so we wanted to make sure that Sam got to celebrate with daddy).  We made party hats and opened presents and ate strawberry cupcakes!

(Flower wrapping paper because he's a 2nd child and I forgot to buy boyish wrapping paper...)

He didn't love his party hat...

Good morning birthday boy!

Birthday breakfast: peaches and bananas (naturally - his favorite), plus whole wheat pancakes with almond butter and birthday sprinkles!

Later in the morning, best friend Ezra came over to play in our backyard pool (Sam's favorite home activity) and we had a deck picnic (more favorites: almond butter sandwich, blueberries, cheese) with more cupcakes.  Aunt Case brought us a balloon, and a card that sings with a dancing hamster.  Those Reagans... they love us so well!

Happy birthday Sammy Sam!  We are so happy you were born!  (12 month update coming later this week after our check up with Dr. Zimmerman on Friday... and also, in honor of his 1st birthday, a birth story!)
