Happy 1st Birthday, Joshua

We had a big weekend at the Waldroup household. Our little boy turned 1 on Saturday. With plenty of family around to celebrate, we enjoyed food and fellowship...and a mound of gifts. Andy's parents and grandmothers came in town Friday evening, and we added most of my family on Saturday for lunch...and the UK/UT basketball game. Joshua did great with his cake, though, I think Emma may have eaten more than he did. Also, the cleanup was a bit traumatic. One minute, we were letting him dig his little hands in for a huge mess, and the next minute we were sweeping him off to wipe every square inch down with baby wipes to let him get back to his party.

On a side note, we used his crayons for the first time tonight. We taped paper to the table to see what he would do. He did surprisingly well, mostly following our lead and writing on the paper. He'd pick a crayons (always grabbing with his right hand), examine it to see which end was pointed, then place that end on the paper and make his scribbles. He was too cute! Watch your mailbox, Mimi!
