Party time!

Yesterday was Anthony's 1st birthday party. They had it out at Uncle Lou's beach house on Fox Island. There were so many little kids there! Everyone in the family has been having babies lately, you know. Nico got to wear his first party hat.

I think it looked pretty good on him. And he didn't try to take it off at all. They had this really cool battery operated airplane there too. It's like those cars that kids can drive around, except it looks like an airplane. It was so cool! I totally would have loved one of these things when I was a kid. Anyways, we let Nico play in it for a while. He's getting so strong, he pulled himself up to standing. He did that for the first time a couple of days ago on the bed rail on our bed.
Look how much fun he had.

There were all kinds of buttons and things he was trying to figure out.
And here he is standing all by himself!

He's growing up so fast!
Not only is he pulling himself up now, he also sat himself up all by himself the other day. I was in the kitchen sewing and he was crawling around on the living room floor. He went over on the other side of the coffee table where I couldn't see him so I got up to check on him. When I went over there, he was sitting up! I wish I had seen how he did. I know he's been really close to doing it a lot lately, but I just wanted to see it, you know? He hasn't done it again (that I know of!), so I'm still waiting to see it.
When we got home from the party yesterday, our apartment complex was having a party of it's own. We stopped by for a few minutes before we took Nico up to get a bath and ready for bed. He even won an award for being the youngest resident. He got a neat little certificate and a teddy bear too! He must have been pretty worn out from all that partying because he went to bed at just a little after 8 and didn't wake up to eat until about 3:30. Then he went right back to sleep and woke up around 6:45 or so. John got up with him for about an hour, I guess, but Nico got fussy so he brought him back to bed. Nico slept until almost 10!!! What a sleepy head! But mom wasn't complaining because that meant I got to sleep in too!
