Caleb is ONE!

For the last time, I'm posting about how my baby is one!

Since Kyler has been in Edmonton during the week, I'm very glad that Caleb's birthday fell on a weekend... if it hadn't, we still would've waited until the weekend so Daddy could celebrate, too!

We were hoping to go to the "jumping place" for his birthday, but everyone had nasty coughs, so... we did basically nothing. Poor kid. The next weekend we went, though,

and he loved it!

Regardless of that not going quite as planned, Caleb still had a good birthday. We began with a breakfast of banana bread and watermelon (Calista's suggestions)

and then headed to church.

After church, it was time to open presents!

He was fascinated by the wrapping paper, but yet again, the baby wasn't quite sure what to do and had to be helped in unwrapping.

His older siblings were only too happy to oblige.

He also got distracted from opening more once each new thing, but Caleb loved all his presents.

Very much a success.

Then it was time for dinner - stroganoff, and finally, cake! I love first birthdays, because everything is novel.

Caleb was unsure what to do with the candle or the cake,

but soon realized the thing to do was eat it!

Clearly, he enjoyed it...

and required a bath afterwards.

And with that, my baby boy is one! Happy birthday, Caleb!
