Gabe's Birthday

  Well I am a slacker.  I have been meaning to do this for quite some time.  Gabe had his first birthday.  We took tons of pictures.  I tried to pick the best ones.  We had an Sesame Street cake.  I was originally going to make one, but upon considering that I worked the night before I decided we could just order one and I could get a few hours more sleep.
  We also got him his own smash cake.  It was an inexpensive add on to the cake order, and then he got his very own cake to smash.

 This is the car he got.  He loves this thing, in fact he loves all his toys he got.  He doesn't ride on it, but he loves to push it around and play with all the buttons and other noise makers on it.

This is us well into the cake.  I had to reload some of the pictures so they are out of order.  All well.  He was living it up.

 He got a lot of awesome stuff.  This is us putting together his alphabet train.
 Another view of the train.  He loves this thing.  There is a hole on top that you can put the blocks through, needless to say he puts anything that will fit through this hole.
 This is the drum that we got him.  It has a bunch of other noise/musical makers in it.  He likes the drums.

 Trying to get him to blow out the candle.  We didn't try to hard, mostly I just blew it out for him.
 Discovering the cake.

 A video from the end of the cake eating.

He also got a great drum from my sister that I don't have a picture of.  He loves drums!  He will drum on anything that makes noise whether it is a drum or not.
 This is non-birthday related.  This was ravioli related.  I don't know how he gets so much on him.  I love it.

 At the aquarium.  First comparing ourselves to the megaladon teeth.
 Walking with Dad.  He is a great walker now.  He took his first steps the Thursday before his birthday.  Now he runs.
Fell asleep eating.  He hasn't done this for me yet, but he has done it a few times for O'Ryan.  He snapped a picture for me.  So cute.

He is a great baby! Generally very happy and mild tempered.  We love this little guy! Can't believe how fast that first year has gone.
