Mr. Baby is One
Today is Sam's first birthday! It's hard to believe it's been a year since I arrived in Chicago on a business trip only to find out I'd be leaving the next day. Also hard to believe that a tiny little blanket-swaddled lump of flesh and blood is now a small human nearly ready to start toddling around the house. (And won't the cats be thrilled when that happens!)
As a present for the day he got poked, prodded, and stuck with needles at the pediatrician's. Not the most enjoyable way to spend one's birthday. Luckily my mom had hosted a party for the family on Sunday (including the_sheryl's parents who came down for the weekend) so he had a bunch of new toys to play with.
If I were more awake (it's been a long couple of weeks for reasons having nothing to do with a baby) I'd have something more profound to say. Let's just say that Devoted Dad is happy.
