Finnian is ONE!!

Yesterday, our sweet Finnian turned 1. I can't believe a full year has gone by since that crazy day where Adam and I helped him into this world unassisted. He has taken 5 steps so far; Adam is hoping he'll wait until he gets home from his tour to Texas to really start walking. He's definitely our latest walker...we are still not holding his hands to help him...he's on his own! His hair is very long in spots but the idea of giving him a little boy haircut is a bit awful for me to comprehend. :) 

This was around 5pm and he had just woken up from a nice nap. We set him in the high chair to begin his birthday dinner. Hamburgers, broccoli, and fruit salad. Sean was trying to keep him from crying.

Looking at his fresh fruit salad!

Kieran got the honor of helping Finn blow out his candle.

For some reason, Finn wouldn't pickup the food with his hands until the meal was mostly over. This was the first time we had seen him do that!

Finally reaching for the bowl.

But then he just bit the bowl!

Pea made the cutest party hat! I need to get a closeup of it to post here.

Kieran really wanted these "squawker blowouts" for the party. So we bought them at the commissary.

Finnian, being just one, had no clue how to open the cards or gifts but Kieran was his helper. :)
