Happy First Birthday!

I guess it's ok to try grandpa's margarita... It is his birthday...

Visiting with Pup Pup

Pup came for a visit and gave Harvey a percussion set for his birthday. It was an excellent early present and Harvey and Mommy have a little family band now. Our band is all percussion: maracas, castanets, a drum, triangle and xylophone.  We can turn any song into a percussive masterpiece! So far, Daddy and our neighbors are the only audience, but with a little more practice, we should be ready for a concert in the park soon.

Birthday Party Planning

Nothing like planning a party to make Mama feel inadequate. Oh well, I will soldier on...at least I have a theme: Yo Gabba Gabba! The cake will be from Publix so that takes a lot of the stress away, but it still needs a little something extra. I am trying to be creative.

Shhh....Don't Tell Harvey

But, I think I have found his first birthday present from Mommy and Daddy:

Baby on the Go!

Bunny Love

Our visit to the Easter Bunny went even better than expected. As soon as Harvey saw the bunny up close, he started his high pitched squeal "heeeeeeeeee!" Whenever we hear that sound, we know that H has spotted an animal. The Mall of America Easter Bunny counted as real animal for H and he was very happy to sit on his lap, pull his hair and attack his glasses. Every one at work asked me- was he scared? Nope.

Harvey looked adorable in his sailor suit (Thanks, Sugar!) and attracted women all over the mall. Judging from our experience with the bunny- H may be headed towards a career as a veterinarian or an old-timey sailor. I am hoping for old-timey sailor.
