After one year Seamus has grown so much! He has gained 20 pounds. He is crawling on all fours and pulling himself up on furniture, and "cruising". He likes to stand on his head in downward facing dog sometimes too. He's still rear-facing in the car seat, but he's in the bigger car seat now. Seamus eats meals with the family in his high chair, and he eats all kinds of things! His favorite this week was pulled pork, last week it was raisin bran. Mostly he just likes to eat things on his own (give me that spoon!!). Seamus is nursing two or three times a day now, and having much less attention for that activity. He'd rather drink from a sippy-cup, on the go. He is learning sign language and knows how to say Dog, More, All Done, and Milk. He can say Yeah, Dog, Ball and Mama vocally.
Seamus is a really relaxed guy. He will just sit happily in my lap and watch Luke play for several minutes - sometimes as long as half an hour, before he wants to get in on the action. He enjoys snuggling and hugs, and recently really loves his Mommy. Only in the last few days he has started making strange, but he gets over it pretty fast. I wouldn't say Seamus is super-cheerful, but he's a content little guy - certainly not grumpy, and we are so so happy to have Seamus in our family (even though yesterday Luke suggested we sell him at a garage sale so that Seamus wouldn't damage anymore of his toys). You're worth any damage you author Seamus. Your smile brings the sunshine, baby. Your hugs bring the smell of Summer. Happy First Birthday!
This is how we roll on birthdays: Beatles style.
(Luke says, "Can we dance and listen to the ant's birthday song again?"
He remembered the band shared the name of an insect, just not which one!)

More photos to come, after the party, party.
Yes we're goin' to a party party!
