We forgot to practice blowing out candles, so Hendrik just stared at the candle. He tried to grab it, but Dirk was too fast for him.
Hooray for a fun party and for my wonderful parents who hosted and for seeing aunts and uncles and cousins and everyone!
So now Hendrik is one. What a blessing he is to us. Dirk and I have had fun remembering our trip to the hospital last year and coming home with a new little someone who couldn't do a whole lot. And now he can crawl and play with toys and say some words and feed himself... He weighs more than three times what he did at first and is so much taller. It has been so fun watching him grow! Happy first birthday, little one.
