birthday: big #1

Typically, the first item of business on the boy's schedule is to make it known to his parents that he is hungry. But on his special day, young Theo wanted to first listen to music. The little family then headed downstairs for a birthday breakfast of berry pancakes and the opening of a few presents. Turns out the boy is not too fond of pancakes (yet), and the loud noise his new toy tractor made scared him to tears (but it's now his favorite toy). It's only fair to mention, however, that the previous late-night partying had caught up to him with a fever later in the day. He was very thankful for the many happy birthday wishes from so much of his family and friends.

halloween weekend

For his first halloween, the boy picked pumpkins, went to the Circleville Pumpkin Festival with his parents, dressed up as a care bear, and went trick or treating with his neighborhood buddies. He stayed up late not 3, but 4 nights in a row until the witching hour of 7pm.
