Friday we celebrated Ira's first birthday! I can't believe a year has gone by so quickly. His latest tricks are:
- Standing without holding on to anything
- Making a Growling/ hocking a luggie sound
- Feeding himself more than we feed him
- Signing for more food (Instead of squawking and flapping his arms)
To celebrate his birthday we blew up some balloons, which he loves playing with, and wrapped a few presents. We wanted to give him chocolate cake for the first time and let him get all messy so we could take some cute pictures, but our attempts failed as demonstrated in the video above (If you are reading this in email you might have to go to the blog to see the video). We couldn't even get him to eat the berry pie. I guess we can't really complain that he refuses to eat sugar. If the video wasn't enough I've put on a few other pictures from the happy day.
Playing with his balloons, probably the one present that's kept him the most occupied.
He's still figuring out the 'present inside the wrapper' idea.
He likes his new block toys, especially knocking towers over.
