Ok..so, technically, Kael’s first birthday isn’t until Tomorrow (the 16th), but we had his party yesterday…

And of course, he made a haul when it came to the goodies! When our lease is up, we’re going to have to move to a bigger apartment..not because we don’t like it where we are, or anything like that…but because Kael has got to much stuff!

He got a ton of Elmo stuff, more Little People, Clothes, Mega-Blocks, and pretty much anything a baby could want for his Birthday.

He finally got his first taste of cake.. we’ve been making him wait until his birthday to have any (Yes, I know..we’re such mean parents!). And compared to some of the 1st birthday babies I’ve seen eat in the last month.. he came out pretty clean (at least, his skin wasn’t dyed for 2 days like some babies). Of course..the big surprise, is that Kael made it a full year, with 2 parents who had no clue what they were doing when he showed up! If babies are like marriage, and the 1st year is the hardest..its all downhill from here!

After the last week…I think we’ll skip Kael’s birthday next year…its alot of work throwing a party for a 1 year old..

Video from the party is here . (Requires Quicktime (DUH!)) – Still working on getting all the still pictures into iPhoto so we can get them posted.. probably wait until we get some pictures from his ‘real’ birthday (and maybe his first haircut) on Monday/Tuesday before I upload those.
