Party in Springfield

Whoa... two party days in a row! We had Truman's one year portraits taken today, then we were off to party, party, party at Lake Springfield! What a great party! Thank you!

My morning exercise is chasing this birthday balloon.

Gotcha!

Another gorgeous cake!

Thanks for coming, Everyone.

Look at that delicious food!

Umma and I are visiting with people, but it's hard to concentrate with this food around.

We're visiting and showing off some pictures of my life up to this point.

Hello, Cousins! Good to see you!

A proud Apba shows a proud Grandpa some portraits.

A beautiful birthday spread.

This is a tradition where I foretell my future by what I pick.

I picked the string... that means long life!

Next, I picked the money. That means wealth.

Wow. So, this is how celebrities feel, huh? Check out the paparazzi!

Halmoni, Harabuji, my folks, and me.

Grandmother, Grandpa, my parents, and me.

Look, here are my aunties by me!

Big family picture!

Umma and Apba are trying to dress like me. That's fun.

Party in Sarcoxie

Saturday was party day in Sarcoxie! We arrived to see the lovely decorations and then spent the day with friends and family. It was a great day, and Truman really seemed to enjoy himself. I think he likes this birthday thing.

Wow! Looks like the place for the party!

Whoa! Is all this for me?

Yes! Finger Food!

How did I get on your shirt, Grandmother?!

Yum! Birthday cake!

So, what's next?

Yay! Cake time!

Two cakes?

NO! Not this cake again! Why can't I have the good cake?!

Awwww... I love kisses and hugs.

Thanks for a fun day!

Happy First Birthday, Truman!!

That's right. Our baby boy turned one year old today! Hard to believe. Yesterday he sat up on his own in his crib for the first time! Today he spent the day at home and celebrated with Umma and Apba. He had some fun times and some things he wasn't sure about. None of us were sure about his vegan cake (since there are many foods he cannot eat until he turns one year corrected... like eggs and dairy)! Enjoy seeing Truman's day! This weekend he'll celebrate with other friends and family.

Good morning. It's my what? Birthday?

Did you tell Blue Bear?

Hi Apba! Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I'm showing off my skills with blocks.

Hey, Heidi! Do you want to play?

See? I can sit myself up!

There you are, Heidi! Let's play!

Where are you going?

How does this work?

What is under my high chair?

Hm. What's behind door number one?

Breakfast!

Water. Yum.

I'm tired. Could I nap?

Thanks!

Look who is here!

High five, Kid!

What else is going on?

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Lunch time!

Kind of yum.

For me?!

Watch out! Here I come!

Birthday cards are yummy!

So many people sent me things, Apba! Did you see? Thank you, Everyone!

Oooh... this is pretty.

How do I get in there?

I see the buttons... but they feel just like the rest of the card... I'm so confused!

Yes! Just what I wanted!

How are cards so delicious?

I can unwrap these gifts... no problem!

Birthdays are fun!

So these are the instructions, huh?

Who needs 'em?? They're a better snack!

Dinner. I'm always eating!

What is this?!

I'll check it out.

Hi! I'm the birthday boy!

I think I have something on my head.

I'm watching you, Cake.

Why are you moving it towards me, Apba?

Okay, okay... I touched it.

Somebody get me out of here.

I surrender! No more! No more!

Thanks for saving me from the cake blob, Apba!

Bath time! Awesome.

My mohawk is super clean.

I love you, Apba. I liked my birthday.

I love to cuddle with you, Umma... especially on my birthday.

Goodnight everyone. Birthdays wipe me out!
