Happy Birthday!

Thor had a good 1st Birthday.



He was eager to impress his audience standing and hanging onto his new chair.



And then he suddenly let go of the chair and started walking toward the kitchen.
These were his first independent steps and he was excited about them.



He then exercised his newfound independence by walking all over the room trying to pull things off of tables.



By the time the cake came out he was pretty tired and not very interested.
Thus, a huge sugar buzz and subsequent crash was avoided.
We're hoping to keep him from getting hooked on sweets (even though it's the American Way) so we were happy that he didn't plant his face in the cake.



So now he's one and the fun has really begun!
