First, First

"They say its your birthday...happy birthday to ya."

Monday was the much anticipated celebration of Knox completing one year of life, and his parents successfully seeing him through it without too many scars. His party was smiley face themed, because if you haven't met him, its his favorite thing to do-smile. He donned his Mr. Happy tshirt and overall enjoyed seeing a few of his baby friends and being surrounded by family.

Cake Time! Now, unlike my first child, who's first taste of sugar was her 1st birthday cake, Knox probably had ice cream at 7 months (I know there are some moms out there that just screeched). He's the SECOND child, remember? From what I understand, the third child fixes their own meals. Knox was still pretty happy to be given his own cake. He looked at and then looked at us and kinda smiled. The whole time he ate, he looked around like surely someone was going to call him out on this! The little stinker even used a fork. What a gentleman!

Knox loved all his presents! (Lucy got a few too, since it just happend to be her half birthday also!) I tried the "no presents" thing with Lucy's first party and no one listened, so I gave up this time and let his family spoil his with obnoxious noise making boy toys. Goodwill: Expect a load of old toys from the Williamsons this week!

And more firsts for this post:

First Day of Preschool!

Poor Knox-he wants to do everything she does!

Lucy began her first day of preschool. Its a little more advanced than mothers day out with a curriculm and more activities. She loves her teacher (mom does, too!) and is going to get a taste of what boys are really like since right now she is 1 of only 2 girls in the class!

Hope your first week of September is a good one!
