Peter is 1!

(Peter leaving a year behind him...)

Our littlest man is a year old today. It's a cliche, but I both can and can't believe it's been a whole year. To commemorate, I've decided to post a list of firsts that Peter has experienced over the past 366 (leap year) days. Permission has been granted by his publicist.

*First view of sunlight
*First taste of milk - boob, formulaic, whole, chachi or otherwise
*First splash of water on his face (He loves it, unlike his big bro.)
*First fever/coughing fit (It took 11 months and 2 weeks for this one.)
*First headfirst dive out of the bathtub (For real. He was fine.)
*First time hearing music.
*First time making music (Vincent's guitar, drums, a plastic spoon on the floor. I even consider slamming a toy on the play-table music. Hey, it's percussive!)
*First time hearing the vaccuum. (Maybe his one, true fear.)
*First taste of hummus - the greatest food ever.
*First laughter at the sound of (fake) flatulence. Gotta love the classics.
*First laughter at the old "stinky feet" bit.
*First spoken word - take your pick of "Dindin, Dada, Mimmm."
*First dance to the sound of "Hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog!"
*First sand between his toes.
*First time finding his own...er....you know. Also just a couple of weeks ago...for those curious.
*First look of love upon his blue blanket.
*First red-face-inducing neck squeeze (read: hug) from his bro.
*First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth.... taste of Bell & Evans Chicken Fingers, the other greatest food ever.
*First time waking up facedown in a completely different part of the crib from where he was put down, crying loudly for 2 full seconds, then falling back asleep soundly.
*First steps. And he never turned back.

So we're raising our glasses of chachi milk and toasting another year of firsts. Or seconds. Whichever you prefer.

Our man Sweet Pete is 1!
