Two weekends ago, we had a full house with lots of family in town for my nephew, Atticus' birthday. I fell in love with this sweet baby the very first time I saw him on the day he was born, which was something I didn't know could happen with any child but my own. We are so blessed that he lives in the neighborhood, and although Atticus is somewhat wary of my more enthusiastic boys right now, I am still convinced that they will all grow up to be best friends!

Saturday was the big birthday party. First birthday parties are just so much fun... especially when there's plenty of family around to help celebrate :)
The big birthday boy!
Mommy & son
"Get this ridiculous hat off of me!"
Aunt Debbie & Uncle Kyle, expecting their first baby in November. Can't wait to have a niece (we think)!
Happy birthday boy eating a snack
Checking out his loot (that duck rarely left his hand all day)
Opening presents (including awesome turtle sweater made by my mom)

Cake time!

not especially impressed (getting tired & hungry for some familiar food by then)
a little bit of a smile :)
Sunday was Atticus' baptism. Once again, it was great to have so much family around to help celebrate this important day in his life.


We figured we'd had enough cake the day before, so we went with cookies for the baptism. Thanks to my dad & Aunt Debbie for help with the decorating!

Happy Birthday, my sweet Atticus. Auntie Lucia loves you!
