Henrik's Birthday - Part 1

Henrik reached a major milestone recently and celebrated his first birthday. It has been a year full of ups and downs and Henrik has been a tremendous joy to us over the past year. I think you can sum up his personality pretty much by saying "happy." As most of my pictures of him show, he is a super jolly baby, laughing and smiling most of the day.

So, the celebration of his first year with us involved a lovely cake made by Claudia.
Of course, not having any teeth yet limited Henrik's enjoyment of this, so he went with fruit puree instead. I think its clear that he enjoys it every bit as much as we enjoyed the cake.
Another important aspect of baby birthdays is that Claudia likes nothing better than dressing up babies like sailors. She did it with Liam, and now Henrik as well. You can see from the smile that he does not mind in the least.
So, a wonderful year with a super baby, lets hope the next year will cover exciting new developments like teeth, sitting, standing, pre-school... lots and lots of adventures on the way.

Next post I will cover Henrik and his gifts.
