Hanky's First Birthday!

I can't believe my second baby boy is 1!
We had a great day celebrating our littler prince!
We started out with blueberry waffles.

Hank happens to think they are pretty great, and best enjoyed with one in each hand.

We also had lunch with Daddy at Chick Fil-A.  Hank also happens to think that nuggets are pretty fabulous, but I can't get the pictures to upload. 

For dinner Aunt Linde and Uncle Jeff came over and had supper and of course a Birthday Sprinkle!

Hank says Sprinkles red velvet cupcakes are way better than vanilla cake. 

Being a BIG 1 year old boy, means you need a chair to call your own!

I wised up this year and skipped the rather long Dr. Suess birthday book and went with Happy Birthday Little Pokie.  Obviously, Hank NEVER would have made it through the longer story.

Happy Hanky!  That's our one year old boy.  I love his birthday pictures this month because they all sum him up, happy, smiley and busy busy busy. 

Hank is the speediest crawler I know.  He also loves to laugh and play, especially with his big brother.  He thinks Avery is the funniest, and that whatever he has must be more fun than anything else in the house.  Hank loves cheese, bread, yogurt, cheerios, crackers, cheese, cheerios, cheese, crackers, cheese....I think you might be noticing that there are no fruits or vegetables on the list.  But, we are working on it.  Hank is a trooper, he has yet another double ear infection.  You wouldn't know it if it weren't for the early morning chit chat he would like to have, and the unbelievably short nap he thinks is enough to get through the day.  Hank transitioned to a sippy cup and whole milk like a champ.  He is also easing in to life with his passy only at bedtime with little trouble.  I think I have a tiny bit of influence with him, since he gets sad when I tell him no, but he doesn't stop either so I guess it's a draw.  Hank loves to play with the bucket that holds all the balls, he will load and unload them forever.  He also loves the bucket of cars and to pull anything he can off a table or shelf.  Life is NEVER dull when Hanky is around.  We are so thankful for our happy, healthy Hanky!
