Teo had his first birthday party, turning 1 year old this past Saturday, April 3rd. Mom (Candice), Grandma Connie, and Nina (Sylvia) did a phenomenal job cooking, decorating and making everything resplendent and festive for all who attended, and the weather cooperated as well, with a sunny but not overly hot afternoon. Perfect, really.
Teo scored HUGE on the gift scene; we need a whole other room just to store them. He has managed to make his way through each one, though, on this day after. No clear favorites yet. Maybe the helium balloons!
A number of other kids were in attendance as well, so Teo enjoyed watching and observing them as they ripped open all of his presents at gift time, and then proceeded to play with them as well. Teo was more than happy to kick back and watch, just playing with his new miniature soccer ball.
As for his first large-scale ingestion of sugar, Teo did well, managing NOT to get sick, as I thought he might, after practically inhaling his birthday cupcake (which he enjoyed very much), a few bites of the chocolate cake that was made for the grown-ups (kids had cupcakes), and a small bite of marshmallow. No discernable sugar coma detected. He had a glazed look in his eyes at one point, but then he does that when he's tired.
Big THANKS to all who showed up to Teo's first - he and his family is/are very appreciative of all the wonderful gifts and cards and sentiments, and for taking the time to spend a part of your day on his very special one.
Enjoy the pics. More to come.
