Last Saturday evening we celebrated Rolland's first birthday! More than a dozen of Rollie's friends and family gathered in our little apartment, with Grandma and Grandpa Noble joining us live via Skype. (Welcome to the future!) Rollie got a play tent with a matching tunnel, several new bath toys, and cowboy-style snow boots.
Erika made a delicious birthday buffet including, but not limited to, bacon-wrapped chestnuts, turkey-cranberry dip, squash canapes, and both a Smore cake and pumpkin-streusel cupcakes...
...which Rolland greatly enjoyed.
It was fun.
After the guests left (of course), Rolland had a lot of fun playing in his new tent/tunnel.
*The next day he took his first steps (see Erika's facebook page for the video), just to make sure he can claim that before his first birthday.*
The Day
Today (Dec. 9) Rolland is marking the day of his birth with his first ever fever. He's been incredible sleepy and cuddly...kind of like he was last year at this time. At least it should be easy to have an even better birthday next year. :-) (Notice he's playing with the "emergency" toy--he only gets Mommy's cell phone when she's desperate...or when her baby is pitifully adorable.)
