Here are a couple of photos from our Saturday at home.

Better late than never, here are some of the highlights from Birthday #1 – both the actual day, and the big party on the 9th.

What’s Up?
I don’t have any photo or video evidence yet, but, James has definitively discovered the notion of ‘up’ in the last week. I think it started with some of the birthday decorations hung high around the house. Now he is almost constantly pointing up with his little index finger, trying to make sure that we all see the stuff above us. Important things like balloons, light fixtures and handles in the car. Can’t wait until he notices birds, trees, stars and airplanes. Won’t be long.
The birthday party has come and gone, but there are still some party remnants left around the house. James has taken a special interest in this balloon, and has been giving it lots of special attention lately. He has yet to learn the important lessons about balloons deflating or popping … chances are he’ll learn at least one of them soon.
I’m a little slow in getting this added to the site, but … James did have a birthday, we did have a party for him, we had a cake, and a song, and all that good stuff. Here’s the video evidence:
James enjoyed his first birthday cake. Frank did, too.
Celebrating, Irish style.

James is Canadian
When Michele dressed James today she made sure that he had lots of Canada clothes on. This is the first time we’ve ever been able to get him to keep the tuque on his head for more than a few seconds. I guess the fact that he had mitts on and couldn’t use his fingers must have helped.

Rice Time
James really seemed to be enjoying serving himself some white rice at dinner tonight. It was surprising to see that he didn’t end up with any grains of rice stuck to his cheek. Maybe that Racadio gene isn’t as strong as some of the others.

50 Weeks Later
One of my favourite photos from the past year is our first family photo, a self portrait taken with some help from the bathroom mirror. James was one week old. One week away from his first birthday, we took an updated version of the photo. Can you spot many differences?
