Our baby boy turned one this week! We still can't believe it. It does not feel possible that he is so old.
Josh loves his teddy bear. He is our snuggle bug, and as soon as he goes to bed at naptime or bedtime, he immediately rolls onto his side and snuggles his face into his teddy. So we threw him a teddy bear-themed party. Our friend Jennifer helped us make him this AWESOME cake!
Will and Anna helped by coloring pictures of teddy bears that we hung on the walls and his high chair as decorations.
Once he opened his presents, we stripped him down, so he could enjoy his cake properly.
I've already posted most of our Ohio pictures to Le Sueur Street, but we have taken some videos over the summer. Here is a smorgasbord of those videos, in hopefully chronological order:
Will and Anna on our drive to Ohio
Josh got disgusted by the mess Will, Anna, and Uncle Zach were making with cars, so he took it upon himself to clean it up.
Anna just being Anna
We went bowling a couple of times this summer, and Anna developed a ritual that she performed before her turn. It was reminiscent of Babe Ruth calling his swing.
And Will would do a victory dance after a successful bowl.
Fun at the splash pad
The twins played "Bear, Hunter, Lady" one night, and both thought it was hilarious to be the same character. Every. Time.
Anna has become amazing on the hula hoop.
And in the biggest news of the summer, Josh learned how to walk! He started it in mid-July, but now he is walking, opening doors, climbing stairs, and basically going wherever he wants to go.
And that was our summer! That was long. Is anyone still reading this?
