Happy birthday boy

Nathan William is one! He celebrated his transition to toddlerhood with presents, smiles, snuggles and a cupcake. A few snapshots follow....

Admiring this gift from Grandma and Pop that combines two of his favorite things -- reading and Cheerios. (Yep, real cereal goes right in the book's pages.)

Hamming it up on a break from helping/watching Sister Bear open his presents.

Showing off his mad standing and clapping skills while playing with his new toy.

Loving Grandma (as always).

Taking a break with Ma Jane and her cane (one of Nathan's favorite toys) at his birthday party.

Posing with Pop and Caitlyn pre-messy-cupcake eating.

Looking an awful lot like he's going to throw that cupcake right at the camera. (Playing with his birthday dessert was much more appealing than eating it.)
