Leo is one!

The day has come, and darling Leo turned one!  He was sick at the beginning of the week and pretty contagious, so we decided to keep him home.  I had him all to myself that day and most of the week!  It was so nice to spend time together, one-on-one.  Lots of snuggle and play time and quiet walks.

Cupcakes were homemade carrot cake with three cups of shredded carrots.  So yummy!  Stacked and sprinkled with rainbows.  The stacking made Matthew really nervous, but I knew it was secure the whole time.  I took this photo of Leo with the lit candle after singing “Happy Birthday”.  He extinguished it with his fingers before I reach out and could stop him!  Ouch!  Luckily, his hands weren’t very dry, so he just startled a bit and then he was fine.

We were all pretty excited about the gifts.  Dean quickly busied himself with the barnyard and farm animals from him and Fiona while Leo opened his other presents.  Fiona could hardly contain herself!  Leo was really interested in tissue paper.

One of Leo’s gifts was this super cool fire/dump truck!  Is there really such a thing?  In any case, he loves it.

I love this photo below, with three sets of hands opening presents in the background while Leo runs off.

Happy birthday, sweet boy!  You have won our hearts!  We love Leo.
