One Year Old

I turned one today! It didn't start off that great - I woke up with a lousy, barking cough, so mommy and I headed to the doctor as soon as I was done with breakfast. The doctor said my lungs are clear and that I just have another virus. What a great birthday present! We went to lunch at Coastal Flats with Granddaddy, Uncle Bill and Uncle JR this afternoon. Nobody sang happy birthday to me at the restaurant even though JR told everyone there that it was my birthday...and that I'm single and financially independent. It was still pretty special because Mommy ordered salmon and smashed potatoes off of the big kids menu for me. Clearly, I'm a big boy now. I took it easy the rest of the day. Mrs. Weber came by to wish me a happy birthday and to bring me some really cool presents that mommy finally had to pry away from me so I could take a nap. After dinner, daddy gave me a bath, where I made a fabulous new discovery. You know how I am always trying to get into Winston and W's water bowl? Well, I've decided that the bathtub can be my very own water bowl. I can stick my face in the water and lap it up with my tongue just like Winston and W! I guess that is something only one year olds can do!
