Alastor's First Birthday!

Well it happened, ALastor turned one! AAAA! It was a rather fun and exciting day for him. Mom and Dad Workman sent him a big tonka style CAT truck that plays sounds and that he can ride around in and have all sorts of fun. We took it out for a spin and Alastor's little friend from across the street, Von, saw him and came over with his Mom to see Alastor's new toy. They both had fun and we talked with his mom, Sarah for a bit.

Mom and Dad Bunn sent Alastor a little table full of buttons and lights and songs. He really enjoys it. I couldn't put the legs on fast enough for him, he was squealing and chasing me while I was attempting to put it together. We were very happy to have such nice presents from Grandparents.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Alleman sent a card with some money to buy and new toy for ALastor as well. We got him a bucket with holes in it to put different shaped blocks into, it's amazing how well he does at matching the shapes with the holes.

Dan and Candace came over as well as our friend Evan Jed. They gave Alastor new PJ's with a pirate dog on them and a toothbrush!

Next came the cake. We gave ALastor a piece of All American Chocolate cake from Costco. He immediately knew what to do and dug right in. It was very cute and we took plenty of pictures.

Also, as you might guess from the picture below, we are having another baby! New baby is due in May and we will be finding out the gender in December. My family insists that it will be a girl, so we will have to see. I bought ALastor an outfit that says "Big Brother" on it that he will hopefully fit into once May comes along.

All in all it was a good birthday and we had a good time. It was weird to think back one year and remember the whole process of him coming into this world. Mostly I remembered how fast it was and how there was no pushing. The nurse told us that when we got ready to have a second child that we had better get to the hospital quick! I hope number 2 goes as well as Alastor did, but we are excited about it anyways.
