Archer's First Birthday

Before we get to the celebrations, you just have to see how this guy has grown over the last year:

Archer has definitely changed our house for the better. It's been a busy year, but in many ways we've seen a kinder, more loving side come out of his three older brothers as they've assumed the role of teacher, protector, and entertainer for him. That's been so fun to watch.

And Archer himself is certainly worth celebrating! Here's how we did it:

Cupcakes!!! That look like Archer's favorite thing in the whole world: Balls!!!

And presents!!! (Not that he cares what is in them...)

Balls!!!

He picked it up pretty quickly.

A different kind of ball!!! (Are you sensing a theme to this little boy?)

Cupcake time!

"Archer is SO big!"

First time to have frosting...

He approves! Looks like he belongs in our family.

One year of smiles and wiggles in the books. Here's to many more!
