1st Birthday Party

Last Thursday we hosted a birthday party for ten babies from our birthing class. We were excited for Ryan to play with his old friends; however, from the start, it was obvious he didn't enjoy being in such a large group. All the other babies seemed to handle it fine, but Ryan was grumpy the entire time.

Of the ten babies, four were able to walk. Nobody could tell that Ryan was a part of this group because he refused to be put down.







One mom had the idea to place all the babies around the birthday cake and allow them to attack it. The result was a bit more tame than what I had expected. Most babies were indifferent to the cake, but a few brave girls finally got their hands into it, and one of these girls managed to collect all the strawberries. As expected, Ryan just became hysterical when we set him down.
