1st Birthday

Today is Zach's 1st birthday.  It is so hard to believe an entire year has already gone by!!  Eric and I are so lucky to have such an amazing, snugly, patient, happy and adorable little boy.  He was quite challenging as an infant, but has grown into such a rewarding baby that fills our home with laughter and smiles. 
After work today, Griffin and Aunt Kris stopped by to say Happy Birthday to Zach.  We decided it was the perfect time to give Zach his presents.  Of course both Jake and Griffin were drooling over the wrapped gifts and could not wait to tear them open.  But they were very patient and let Zach enjoy a couple minutes trying to figure out exactly what these big piles of paper were.  Eventually we gave in and let Jake & Griffin open the presents for Zach. 
Mommy's business partner, Jennifer, got Zach a little cake.  So after dinner we were excited to watch Zach attack the cake.  Much to our surprise, he barely touched the cake and when we fed him some he started to cry.  We were shocked because he inhales every piece of food (no matter what it is) that is in front of him.  So we will chalk this up to practice for the family party on Saturday.
Happy Birthday baby boy!  We love you so much and thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives.
