On the morning of Ryan's first birthday, he got his first fever. He ran a temperature of over 102 for two days, but recovered quickly. Brooke and I weren't so lucky. We were both sick soon after Ryan and it took us a week to get better. With so much sickness going around, Ryan's birthday didn't get as much fanfare as it otherwise would have.
My family did throw him a birthday party. (yes, I know the sign is missing an "R")....
My cousins helping Ryan unwrap his presents....
We were so disappointed that Ryan didn't immediately dive into the cake at the Birthing Class Birthday Party, we decided to give him another chance. We thought that without all the other babies around, Ryan would be more brave. Ryan is normally so aggressive with his toys and so messy with his food, we thought he'd certainly have fun making a mess with the cake. Wrong. Ryan was curious about the cake, but he would never touch it with more than one finger. After 10 minutes of watching him pace around the cake and poking at it, we decided to push his entire hand into the cake. And when that didn't get him more engaged, he finally gave him a spoon. Finally, he ate two bites and lost interest....
