And this was him only getting started. On Sunday, we had C's first birthday party at my brother's house in Tuscaloosa (though we have done it about 1,000 times, thanks again to Derek, Lynn, and Savannah for allowing us to invade their house with our Party of Five for the weekend and for graciously hosting the party). The day, the weather, everything was just perfect. I'll let the pictures and videos tell the rest of the story.


Before the party even started, C found out he REALLY likes to swing. A Lot.




C then moved over to the bouncing castle that his Uncle Derek hooked up for him. Uncle Derek earned BIG points - from both his nephew and his brother. Thanks dude.


Any question who the center of attention was?


Happy boy.








C then grabbed his mom's hand and there was more of this . . .
