Reuben turned 1 on Sunday. In the morning we had a family breakfast of egg biscuits and clementines and he got in some dancing with cousin Eliza.
After church we had a family supper. Amy and Eliza put up streamers and I made some bird mobiles in honor of Reuben's favorite baby toy which was attacked and dismembered by Battle.
Reuben enjoyed eating with his Grandpa.
Then we opened presents.
Reuben got a toy hammer from his Aunt Amy. After two days of having it, few things in our house have not been hammered.
Then it was Birthday cake time. I didn't get a picture of the candle which was okay because Reuben wasn't a big fan. We need to do some practice so he's ready for fireworks come New Years.
But he liked eating the cake. Reuben has a great sense of the road less traveled by. We put his cake in front of him fully expecting him to smear it all over but he picked up a spoon and daintily nibbled away. I don't even know where he got that spoon from. I didn't give it to him.
When we tried to encourage him to really dig in he gave us this look and kept a tight hold on his spoon.
Here's the after birthday cake happiness.
