Micah's 1st Birthday!

Micah turned ONE on April 28th ... but had a fever and was cutting teeth - so we waited until the weekend to celebrate!

Here is Benjamin reading Micah the book he got for his birthday!

Here are the boys opening gifts ... isn't it great to have an older brother ... or BE the older brother!

Here's a family picture ...

ANOTHER favorite ... Benjamin helping Micah blow out his candle! (SIDE NOTE ... this just may possibly be my LAST homemade cake ... I'm giving up and would much rather buy a cute one ... it would be 110% worth it to me and less stressful!)

Micah getting his first bite of his cake...

Don't you love the green zebra stripe mouth!

ONE happy Birthday boy!
