birthday party

Hard as it is to believe, it's been almost a year since Oliver made his grand, though delayed, entrance into the world. We celebrated Oliver's arrival, and our survival, with a small gathering of the faithful yesterday. They demolished the cake pictured here. More pics of the party at Flickr. And yes, I'm STILL working on video.

We followed that with a photo shoot at The Picture People today. He's so darn photogenic we can hardly stand the cuteness.

One indication of the great progress made in the last year is that he was put down to sleep at 7pm and did not fuss AT ALL. Last night he was quiet before I got to the stairs and I thought that was a miracle. Tonight he was pooped from a busy weekend. All this, and it isn't even his birthday until Tuesday.
