Anthony is 1 year old!

We had a big birthday this week at our house!  Anthony turned one year old. 

As parents, Mike and I are always learning new things.  Here are some of the lessons we’ve learned this week:

1.  Two-year-olds have difficulty accepting that the party and gifts are not for them.  (Alex was very “helpful.”)

3.  Birthdays are exhausting.
